James worked for 41 hours hence he earned 40*x+1*1.5x=41.5x dollars;   We know that Harry also earned the same 41.5x dollars, out of which he earned 30x dollars for thefirst 30 hoursplus 11.5x additional dollars. Since for each additional hour he gets 3x dollars then he worked for 11.5x/2x= 5.75 additional hours, so Harry worked for total of 30+5.75  11.5 /2=
