Irene earns $500 if she works for 40 hours a week and gets an extra $20 for every hour of overtime. If she worked 50 hours last week, calculate her total income.
How many hours did Irene work? ** If Irene worked 50 hours last week, the total number of hours counting as overtime is 50-40 = <<50-40=10>>10 hours.
How much did Irene earn in overtime? ** Since she's given $20 for every hour of overtime, she earned 10*$20 = $<<10*20=200>>200 in overtime.
How much did Irene earn in total? ** Her total income, including the overtime, is $500+$200= $<<500+200=700>>700
