Question

JoAnn works in a publicity office at the state university. She is paid $13.00 an hour for the first 35 hours she works each week and $19.50 an hour for every hour after that. If she makes $650.00 one week, how many hours did she work?

Answer 1

JoAnn would have worked 45 hours. You start by multiplying 13 and 35 and subtract that from 650 to get 195. from there you d8ivide 195 by 19.50 to get 10. Lastly, you add 35 and 10 to get a total of 45 hours
