Answer:

about 20.5 hours

Explanation:

first find out how much money he earned during the week by subtracting the friday balance and the monday balance

375.75 - 83.50 = $292.25 was the amount earned during the week

divide the amount earned by the amount earned per hour

292.25 / 14.25 ≈ 20.5 hours worked that week

hope this helps <3
