Answer:
$18 per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
At time and a half, Jim's pay for 6 overtime hours is the same as straight-time pay for 1.5×6 = 9 hours. Then Jim's pay of $882 was equivalent to straight-time pay for 40+9 = 49 hours.
His pay per hour was ...
$882/(49 h) = $18/h
Jim's hourly rate was $18.
