Answer:
4 hours of overtime.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent number of overtime hours.
We have been given that Ken gets 1 and half times the pay for overtime, that is \(1.5\times\$11=\$16.5\) per hour of overtime.
Earnings from x hours of overtime would be \(16.5x\).
We have been given that Ken Santos is a tour guide at the art museum and earns $11 an hour with time and a half for overtime. Last week he worked 40 hours plus overtime.

We are told that last month Ken's total pay was $506. We can represent this information in an equation as:
\(16.5x+440=506\)
\(16.5x+440-440=506-440\)
\(16.5x=66\)
\(\frac{16.5x}{16.5}=\frac{66}{16.5}\)
\(x=4\)
Therefore, Ken did 4 hours of overtime.
