each week , harry is paid x dollars per hour for the first 12 hours and 1.5 x dollars for each additional hour worked that week . each week , james is paid x dollars per per hour for the first 40 hours and 2 x dollars for each additional hour worked that week . last week james worked a total of 41 hours if harry and james were paid the same amount last week , how many hours did harry work last week ?
"42 x = 12 x + 1.5 x ( h - 12 ) = = > 42 = 12 + 1.5 ( h - 12 ) = = > h - 12 = 30 / 1.5 = 20 = = > h = 32 answer is a"
add(divide(subtract(add(40, 2), 12), 1.5), 12)
