Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
For 35 hours, Candice is paid …
($8.50/h)(35 h) = $297.50
Any amount in excess of that is paid at $10 per hour. The amount of excess pay is …
$357.50 -297.50 = $60.00
Then the number of overtime hours was …
$60/($10/h) = 6 h
Candice worked 6 hours over 35 last week.
