Larry's summer job is mowing
lawns for a landscaper. His pay
is
$7.50/h. Larry also makes $1.25/h
for any time over 40 hours that he
works in one week. He worked 40
hours last week plus n in overtime
and made $339.38. How many
hours of overtime did he work?

Answer:

31.9 Hours OR 4.5 Hours (Read Explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

40 x 7.50 ( To find the amount that he worked in non-overtime) = 300

300 - 339.98 = 39.98 (Money made on overtime)

39.98 / 1.25 = 31.984 (Hours worked on overtime)

If he is getting payed $1.25 extra per hour (That was not super clear) it would instead be:

39.98 / (1.25 + 7.50) (Money made on overtime divided by hourly rate)

39.98 / 8.75 = 4.5 Hours worked overtime

This answer makes more sense, but since it isn't super clear I'll give you both.
