Let her standard pay rate = x

She worked 40 hours for x per hour she also worked 5 hours at 1.5x ( time and a half)

Write an equation:

40x + 5(1.5x) = 1163.75

Simplify:

40x + 7.5x = 1163.75

Combine like terms:

47.5x = 1163.75

Divide both sides by 47.5

X = 24.50

Her regular hourly rate is $24.50
