if a man earns rs2000 for his first 50 hours of work in a week and is the paid one and half times his regular hourly rate for any additional hours,then the hours must he work to make rs2300 in a week is how much?

• 55. in 50 hrs he earns 2000 so in 1 hr=2000/50=40; and after the fix hrs he charges 1.5 times per hr. so chrge per hr after regular hr wil be 1.5*40=60;
  extra money he earns after regular 50 hrs 2300-2000=300. so hr extra 300/60=5 so the answer will be 50+5=55;

• Man earns 2000₹ in 50 hours.
  So in 1 hour he earns = 2000/50 = 40₹
  Given, additional payment for extra hours = 1.5*40 = 60₹
  He needs to earn = 2300 - 2000 = 300₹
  So extra hours needed to work = 300/60 = 5 hours
  Total work hours per week = 55 hours
