The technician worked 50 hours and earned $1000 (50 hours x $20/hour). To find the actual hourly rate, divide the total earnings by the total hours worked: $1000/50 hours = $20 per hour. However, since he worked 10 hours overtime, the effective rate considering the extra hours is $25 per hour ($1000/40 hours).
