Question

Andre worked a total of 38 hours last week. He is paid $8.50/hr for working Monday through Friday, and $12.50/hr for working on Saturday. His wages last week were $341.00. How many hours did he work on Saturday?

Answer 1

s represents the Saturday hours

38 - s represents the weekday hours

 

12.50s + 8.50(38 - s) = 341

 

Can you solve for s and answer?
