Computing Hourly Wages

[greatwhiteshark]

Rita, who is paid time-and-a-half for hours worked in excess of 40 hours, had a gross weekly wage of $442 for 48 hours worked. What is her regular hourly rate?

h = hourly rate

40h + 8(3/2)h = 442

carry on, nurse!

Yes...

I can take it from here. I wish I could set up equations like math people can.
