So hmmm let's see
she has a monthly income of 120 from investments, now, there are 12 months in a year, so her yearly income from investments are 120*12 or
$1440
she plays on a band, and makes 200 a week, now, there are 52 weeks in a year, so her yearly income from band playing is 200 * 52, or
$10400
her total annual income is 49696, now, if we subtract the band and investment income, we'd be left over with only what comes from her job payrate
so 49696 - 1440 - 10400 is 37856
so, she makes from her job, $37856 annually
now, she only works 28 hours weekly, how much is that yearly? well, 52 weeks in a year, she works 28*52 hours a year, let us divide 37856 by that
37856 ÷ ( 28 * 52) well, it ends up as 26
so, her hourly payrate is $26 per hour
now, she wants to ask for a raise, to make 51880 annually
well, if we check the difference of 51880 and 49696, that'd leave us with the difference in pay, or the raise annual amount
51880 - 49696 = 2184
ok, so she wants $2184 annually more from her work
how much is that in the hours she works annually? well 2184 ÷ ( 28 * 52)
126 divided by 2 = 63
63 x 3 = 189
b = 189
X= 23+8y
X represents the total
23 represents the base price
8 represents the price per extra hour
Y represents how many hours extra
