Let
r = normal hourly rate
40r + (46 - 40)(2r) = 572
40r + 12r = 572
52r = 572
r = 11
His normal hourly rate is $11 / hour.

Total counted hours = 40 + 6*2 = 52
normal hourly rate = 572 / 53 = $11

if he worked 46 hours that means he worked 6 hours extra so if he's paid double for that 6 hours, it's as if he worked 46+6 hours
so 52 hours... 572 $
572/52=11$/hour

He was paid double time for 6 hours & regular for 40 so he was paid for 40+6*2=52 hours
$572/52hrs=$11/hr

Hello
Let x = hourly rate then
40x + 2*6*x = 572
so 52x = 572
then x = 11
Hope This Helps

40x +6*2x = 572
52 x = 572
x = 572/52
x = 11 dollars per hr

we know that he works 46-40 = 6 hours overtime. We can say that one hour overtime = 2 hours normal so he does an extra 12 hours giving a total of 52 hours
572/52 = $11/hr

w = hourly wage
40w + 6(2w) = 572
52w = 572
w =11

h=hourly pay
40h+6(2h)=572
52h=572
572/52=h
h=11
