    Answer: the standard hourly pay is $3.05

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the standard hourly pay that he gets for the first 40 hours.

    Therefore, the total amount that he gets for the first 40 hours of work in a given week is 40x.

    At Dairy Queen, he earned double time for any hours worked over 40 in a given week. This means that the hourly rate is 2x

    If during one week, he worked 51 hours, it means that the overtime is 51 - 40 = 11 hours

    Total amount earned for overtime is

    11 * 2x = 22x

    If the total amount that he earned for the week is $189.10, then

    40x + 22x = 189.1

    62x = 189.1

    x = 189.1/62 = 3.05
