So, I'm just going to go ahead and answer this question (Even though the question isn't quite defined):

Assuming that we want to know his usual pay, we can represent his pay with the variable 'p':

32p + 4 (1.3p) = 531.96

32p + 5.2p = 531.96

37.2p = 531.96

p = 14.3

Knowing this, we can multiply his usual pay by 1.3 to find his overtime pay:

14.3 * 1.3 = 18.59

Julio's normal pay is $14.30 an hour, and his pay after 32 hours of workingis $18.59.

If this wasn't the answer you were looking for, tell me and I'll fix it.

Have a nice one!
