Let h = amount of hours

7.5h=116.25

Since they earn $7.50 per hour, we can multiply that by an unknown amount of hours to get $116.25. Let's solve:

7.5h=116.25

Divide both sides by 7.5 to isolate the h, amount of hours.

(7.5h)/(7.5)=(116.25)/(7.5)

Simplify.

h=15.5

In conclusion, someone would have to work 15.5 hours to earn $116.25 if they earn $7.50 per hour.
