Below is the solution:

8 weeks to earn;
plane ticket 2200 dollars;
job 20(hours/week), 11.5(dollars/hour) versus job 40(hours/week), 100(dollars)+9(dollars/hour) 

Part of the question is how many weeks to work to get the needed money $2200.
Let w be how many weeks. w needs to be a Natural Number, when finished. 

Tech Internship

8 x weeks x 20 x (hours/week) x 11.5 x (dollars/hours)
20 x 11.5 w
230w >/ 2200
23w >/ 220 

Amusement Park
8 x weeks x 40 x (hours/week) x 9 x (dollar/hour) + 100 dolarrs 
40 x 9 x w + 100
360w + 100 >/ 2200
36w +10 > 0220
18w + 5 >/ 110
