Each week, Harry is paid x dollars per hour for the first 30 hours and 1.5x dollars for each additional hour worked that week. Each week, Annie is paid x dollars per hour for the first 40 hours and 2x dollars for each additional hour worked that week. Last week Annie worked a total of 53 hours. If Harry and Annie were paid the same amount last week, how many hours did Harry work last week? Pick:
A) 48  B) 50  C) 52  D) 54  E) 56
Annie earned 40x + 13(2x) = 66x   Let H be the number of hours that Harry worked.   Harry earned 30x + 1.5x(H-30) = 66x   (1.5x)(H) = 81x   H = 54 hours   The answer is 54.
