Kobe's overtime pay is $5 an hour more than his regular pay. he worked 8 hours at his regular wage and 3 hours at his overtime wage. he earned $114. what is kobe's regular wage per hour?

if my understanding is correct, he gets $12.375 per hour on his regular wage

step-by-step explanation:

he works for 3 hours overtime with $5 per hour = a total of $15

all in all he recieved $114 so 114-15= $99

$99 is the total of his regular wage. so 99/8 = $12.375 per hour.

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
