Question

Morgan earns $26 per hour plus 3.5% of her sales. How many hours a week does she have to work, not including her sales, if she is making $33,800 per year

Answer 1

Answer:

Morgan has to work 1300 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of hours.

We have been given that Morgan earns $26 per hour plus 3.5% of her sales.

The amount earned from working x hours without sales would be $26x$.

Since she need to make $33,800 per year without sales, we will equate money earned in x hours by $33,800 to find number of hours as:

$26x=33,800$

$\frac{26x}{26}=\frac{33,800}{26}$

$x=1300$

Therefore, Morgan has to work 1300 hours.
