The selected answer is wrong:
The normal working hour is 35 - q
Amount for normal working hour is r(35 - q) = 35r - qr
Amount for overtime is 2r x overtime hours which is q
= 2qr
Total Amount = 35r - qr + 2qr = 35r + qr = r[ 35 + q ]
REF: The normal working hour is 35 - q
Amount for normal working hour is r(35 - q) = 35r - qr
Amount for overtime is 2r x overtime hours which is q
= 2qr
Total Amount = 35r - qr + 2qr = 35r + qr = r[ 35 + q ]
