Answer 1

`\boxed{\text{822 h}}`

Explanation:

`\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Time in hours} * \text{Dollars per hour} & = & \text{Total earnings}\\\text{Time in hours} * 10.25 & = & 8425\\\text{Time in hours} & = & (8425)/(10.25)\\\\& \approx & 822\\\end{array}\\\text{You would have to work about $\boxed{\textbf{822 h}}$ to earn \$8425}`
