Question

During the summer, Heather has a two part-time jobs. She earns $7 an hour as a life guard and $10 an hour as a tutor. This week, Heather works for a total of 35 hours. If Heather earns $290 in a week, how many hours does she work at each job?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lifeguard=x

tutor=35-x

7x+10(35-x)=290

7x+350-10x=290

-3x=-60

x=20 hours as a lifeguard ($140)

35-x=15 hours as a tutor ($150)

adds to $290.

Hope that helps! :)
