Answer:

$8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the hourly wage of mall be x

Since we are given that  the job at the hospital paid $3.00 per hour more than the job at the mall.

So, hourly wage at hospital = x+3

Now She can earn $440 per week at the hospital

So, no. of hours she worked in hospital = \frac{440}{x+3}

Now she can earn $320 per week at mall

No. of hours worked at mall = \frac{320}{x}

Since we are given that the hours every week were the same at each

⇒ \frac{320}{x}=\frac{440}{x+3}

⇒ 320(x+3)=440x

⇒ 320x+960=440x

⇒ 960=440x-320x

⇒ 960=120x

⇒ \frac{960}{120}=x

⇒ 8=x

Hence the hourly wage at mall is $8

Let the hourly wage at mall=$x
number of hours=320/x
then hourly wage at hospital=$x+3
number of hours=440/(x+3)
now  \frac{320}{x} = \frac{440}{x+3} 
cross multiply
440x=320(x+3)
440x=320x+960

440x-320x=960
120x=960
x= \frac{960}{120} =8
so hourly wage at mall=$8
