Question: Bob gets paid $5 an hour for the regular hours he works and $6 an hour for any overtime hours he works. All hours over 40 in a week are considered overtime. If Bob works 44  hours in the first week and 48 hours in the second week, how much did he make?
Solution:
Bob has worked 40 hours/week x 2 weeks = 80 regular hours
Bob got paid 80 hours x $5/hour = $400 for his regular hours
Bob worked 44 hours - 40 hours = 4 hours of overtime in the first week
Bob worked 48 hours - 40 hours = 8 hours of overtime in the second week
In total Bob worker 8 hours + 4 hours =12 hours of overtime.
Bob got paid $6/hour x 12 hours = $72 for overtime
In 2 weeks Bob earned $400 + $72 = $472
Answer: 472
