So we know if there are 5 groups/dozens of Monarch butterflies, there are 2 groups/dozens of Queen butterflies. In other words, there are 5 Monarch butterflies for every 2 Queen butterflies.
Then we can turn that into an equation.
From the last equation we wrote we can see that the total number of butterflies in the farm is
.
When we compare the Queen butterflies to total butterflies, we get
The ratio of Queen butterflies to total butterflies is 2:7.
Then we can turn that into an equation.

Since Joann receives $10 per hour for the first 35 hours, so she receives $350 (35 times $10) before she starts receiving extra hours.
Since she received $515, we know that she worked extra hours.
Let's use the variable x to represent the number of extra hours worked.
So we can write the following equation for the total payment received:
She worked 11 extra hours. Adding this to the 35 regular hours, so she worked for 46 hours.
