More than 48 hours.
596(target)-400(regular) = 196(extra needed)
Since, regular hours is 40 for a week, rest are extra...
196/24.5 = 8
40+8 = 48
In order to EXCEED.. needs to work more than 48
added : Or.. you can just write more than 8 hrs overtime** I think this is a better answer.

Given
amount to exceed $ 596.00
$ 400 per week
The difference is $ 196. 00
The amount of Hourly pay for overtime $ 24.50
24.50 x 8 = 196 equals the difference
400 + 196 = 596 This amount equals but does not exceed.

24.50 x 9 = $ 220.5
The amount of weekly pay: 400 Plus 220.5 = 620.5
The technician must work 9 hours of overtime for her pay to exceed $ 596.00

$596 (pay aiming for)- $400 ( normal pay)
=&196 (amount needed to earn)
$196 (amount needed to earn) / $24.50 (amount added for overtime per hour)=
8 hours (time needed to work overtime)
In order to exceed...
It's more than 8 hours...

Let the hours for overtime be t,
$400+$24.50t > $596
24.50t > 596 - 400
24.50t > 196
t > 8hours

2(c-4) = 3(c-2) 2c-8 = 3c-6 -8+6 = 3c-2c -2 = c 3/4 a-3=a million/2 a (i'm guessing 'a-3' is in brackets?) 3/4 a - 9/4= a million/2 a three/4 a - a million/2 a = 9/4 3/4 a - 2/4 a = 9/4 a million/4 a = 9/4 a = (9/4) / (a million/4) a = 9

Take the difference between $596.00 and $400.00. This gives you $196.00. Divide this by $24.50 and you get 8 hours as the answer.

She needs to work 8 hours of overtime...you aren't given her work hours, so that's the only possible answer.
