Carissa earns $450 per week for a 40 hour work week plus $16.83 per hour for each hour of overtime after 40 hours. Write an equation that would be used to determine her weekly wages where, W, is her wages and, V, is the number of overtime hours worked.

The equation that determines Carissa's weekly wages is W = 450 + 16.83 × V

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are

The amount Carissa earns per week  = $450

The amount Carissa earns for each overtime hour = $16.83

Where the given variables are;

W = Her weekly wages

V = The number of overtime hours worked

Therefore, the equation that would be used to determine her weekly wages is given as follows;

W = 450 + 16.83 × V.
