    Let x be Juilo's normal hourly rate.

    so for the 35 hr week we have:-

    30x + 5*1.4x = 436.60

    37x = 436.60

    x = 436.60 / 37 = $11.80

    His normal hourly rate = $11.80

    So for a 30 hr week he will earn 11.80 * 30 = $354

    So the amount $436.60 is a reasonable figure for a 35 hr week.
