Shannon who is paid time and a half for hours worked in excess of 40 hours, had gross weekly wages of $800 for 56 hours worked. What is her regular hourly rate ?

the regular hourly rate is $12.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the regular hourly rate is shown below;

Let us assume the regular hourly rate be x

Normal working hours × regular hourly rate + half time × overtime hours × regular hourly rate = Gross weekly wages

40r + 1.5 × 16 × r  = $800

40r + 24r = $800

64r = $800

r = $800 ÷ 64

= $12.50

Hence, the regular hourly rate is $12.50

step-by-step explanation:

you divide the denominator by the numerator on both sides and if the quotients are equal then the fractions are equivalent

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.
