Marks: +1, -0

In a regular week, there are 5 working days and for each day, the working hours are 8. A man gets Rs. 2.40 per hour for regular work and Rs. 3.20 per hour for overtime. If he earns Rs. 432 in 4 weeks. Then how many hours does he work for?

Validate

Solution:

Let, he works x hours for overtime.
Then, 4 × 5 × 8 × Rs. 2.40 + x × Rs. 3.20 = Rs. 432
⇒ 3.20x = 432 – 384
⇒ 3.20x = 48

∴x=489/32=15\hrs

Hence, total number of working hours = 160 + 15 = 175
