 To solve the problem of how many hours overtime he worked, I first had to find out how much he was paid for overtime.  To find this, I had to subtract his normal pay from his total pay of $332.50.  I found his normal pay by multiplying the hours he normally works (40) by his normal hourly rate of $7.00.  ($7 x 40 = $280 normal pay)  I then subtracted this amount from his normal pay ($332.50 - $280 = $52.50 overtime pay).  I now know that he made $52.50 in overtime pay.  To find the amount per hour overtime, I multiplied the normal rate times “time and a half” of 1.5 ($7 x 1.5 = $10.50 per hour overtime pay)  I now divided the total overtime pay by the hourly rate ($52.50 / $10.50 = 5 hours)  I now know that this employee worked 5 hours over his normal 40 hours a week.

 This was an exceedingly easy and simple problem that could be both solved and explained in minutes.  I would make it much, much more complicated before it was worthy of being called “like a POW”.  I hope that future problem will be much, much harder to be worthy of being called a POW.
