Answer:

40d + 10(1.5d) = 770 can be used to determine Martin's hourly pay.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Hourly rate = d

Earning to first 40 hours = 40d

Earning of more than 40 hours = 1.5d

Amount paid per week = $770

Hours worked = 50 hours

first 40 hours + 10 hours = total earned

40d + 10(1.5d) = 770

Hence,

40d + 10(1.5d) = 770 can be used to determine Martin's hourly pay.
