Find the number of miles driven by subtracting the odometer readings:
74545 - 74233 = 312 miles driven.
Divide miles driven by gallons of gas used:
312 / 9 = 34.66 = 35 miles per gallon.
Answer:
E. 55 hours.
Step by step:
Multiple $15x40, equals $600
Subtract $600 from $937.50, equals $337.50
50% more over 40 hours is $22.50
Divide $337.50 by $22.50, equals 15
Add 15 to 40, equals 45
So she worked 55 hours to get paid $937.50
