Let x =  hours worked as a clerk ($12 per hour).
Let y = hours worked as a cashier ($8.25 per hour).

She worked 55 hours, therefore
x + y = 55             (1)

She earned $585, therefore
12x + 8.25y = 585        (2)

From (1), obtain
y = 55 - x           (3)

Substitute (3) into (2).
12x + 8.25(55 - x) = 585
12x + 453.75 - 8.25x = 585
3.75x = 131.25
x = 35
y = 55 - x = 55 - 35 = 20

Answer: a)  Office clerk: 35 hours; cashier: 20 hours.
