Jill earns 1.5 times her normal hourly rate for each hour she works after 40 hours in a week. She worked 52 hours this week and earned $638. What is her normal hourly rate?

let the normal hourly rate be x so normal wages = 40x bonus = 1.5x(52-40) = 18x total = 40x+18x =58x = $638. x = $11/hour

Jill's normal hourly rate is $11 per hour, calculated by establishing her earnings from both regular and overtime hours worked. By setting up the total earnings equation as 58 times her hourly rate and solving for the rate gives us the answer. Therefore, the solution demonstrates how to analyze regular and overtime pay to find the normal rate.
