Answer:

35 hrs

Explanation:

Total earnings = hourly wages + tips

= ($6.25/hr)x + $42.25 = $261

Solve for ($6.25/hr)x by subtracting $42.25 from both sides:

($6.25/hr)x = $218.75

Find x, the number of hours J. worked, by division:

$218.75

x = ----------------- = 35

$6.25

J. worked 35 hours.
