Answer 1

Stephanie worked for 33 hours 20 minutes.

Explanation:

Step 1; Stephanie works and earns $4.50 an hour. Her last paycheck was for $150. So to find the number of hours she has worked we divide the total money earned by the money she earns every hour.

Total hours worked = Total money earned / Money earned for an hour

                                  = $150 / $4.50 = 33.33 hours.

Step 2; We need to convert the 33.33 hours into hours and minutes.

We multiply the 0.33 hours with 60 to convert it into minutes. 0.33 × 60 = 20 minutes. So Stephanie worked for 33 hours and 20 minutes to get her last paycheck.

Answer 2

Answer:

20 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

She receives $60 regardless of the number of hours she works for. Per hour, she earns $4.50. In t hours, she earns:

60 + 4.50t

For some t, the total is $150

150 = 60 + 4.50t

90 = 4.50t

t = 20
