Answer:

  • Sammy would have to work 27 hours time and a have pay to make more than his 40 hour work week.

Solution:

  • 21 x 40 gives us $840 which is his base pay for the week.
  • ⇒ 1.5 x 21 would give us 31.5 which is his time and a half pay
  • ⇒ If you mess around with the hours (31.5 x Sammy's work hours) you will see at 27 hours at time and a half pay, Sammy exceeds base weekly pay.

Thus you get your answer of 27 hours!
