Text ExplanationVideo Explanation
It is given that John works altogether 172 hours i.e including regular and overtime hours.
Let a be the regular hours, 172-a will be the overtime hours
John's income from regular hours = 57*a
John's income for working overtime hours = (172-a)*114
It is given that his income from overtime hours is 15% of his income from regular hours
a*57*0.15 = (172-a)*114
a=160
The number of hours for which he worked overtime = 172-160=12 hrs
