1) The wage, W dollars, of a person who works R hours of overtime is given by the formula [tex]W = 200r + 5900[/tex]
a) make a R subject of this formula
b) find the number of hours of overtime worked by someone whose total wage is $8200

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

W = 200R + 5900

now, we want to transform this, so we get R = ...

W - 5900 = 200R

R = (W - 5900)/200

b)

R = (8200 - 5900)/200 = 2300/200 = 23/2 = 11.5

there were 11.5 hours of overtime.
