Last summer, you worked two part- time jobs over your 8 week break and earned $2919. The problem is you can’t remember how many hours you worked each week

Question

The problem is

you can’t remember how many hours

you worked each week at your

second job.

You remember that you worked

35 hours per week at your first

job for $8.50 per hour and that

you earned $10.50 at your second

job.

How many hours did you work at Job B?

Answer 1

2919 - 35(8.5) = 2621.5

 

2621.5/10.5 = 250

 

You worked 250 hours at job B.
