Because we do not know the amount of money, we can safely say that the equation is:
8x + 8y = 16
We know this because he is initially paid x/hr, and after 8 hrs he will receive y/hr
Answer:
(8x) + (8y)
Step-by-step explanation:
A worker is paid for 8 hour work in a day = x dollars
For every hour after the 8 hours he is paid = y dollars
He works 16 hours in one day. This means he worked 8 hours as overtime.
His average hourly wage for that day will be = (8x) + (8y)
