Question
Attempting to create a formula for calculating a salary based on a few variables and a few constant values. I am looking for a formula for calculating a numeric value of h or t according to the following information:

Total 52 Week Salary S=42000
Regular Hours Worked in 1 Week R=40
Overtime Hours Worked in 1 Week O=5
Regular Hourly Rate H=.6667T
Overtime Hourly Rate T=1.5H
Total Weeks W=52
Weekly Amount A=807.69
Weekly Amount A=(R*H)+(O*T)
Weekly Regular Amount B=R*H
Weekly Overtime Amount C=O*T

I seem to be missing something here so I am giving up for the evening but thought I may find some help out here on the net. Thanks.

Answer
A = B + C
A = (RH) + (OT)
A = (40h) + (5 * 1.5h)
807.69 = 40h + 7.5h
47.5h = 807.69
h = 17.004

T = 1.5(17.004)
T = 25.506

B = 40(17.004)
B = 680.16

C = 7.5(17.004)
C = 127.53

Here is what i get

H = $17.00
T = $25.51
B = $680.16
C = $127.53

That is what i got
