Explanation & Answer

Suppose,

X is the flat fee and Y is per unit rate

lets assume X is your fixed pay, and Y is the overtime amount you get per hour,

so, if a equation say that on working 3 hours extra, earning was 130 and
on working 5 hours extra the earning was 150.

so, the equations will be...

X + 3Y =130
X +5y = 150

if you solve these by elimiantion,

X+3Y - (X+5Y) = 130-150
or, X-X +3Y - 5Y = -20
or, -2Y =-20
or, Y=10

and X+3*10=130
or, X=130-30 = 100


so, the fixed pay is 100 and 10 is per unit rate.


Hope this helps. Please best my answer and message me if you have any doubts :)
