During the summer, you work 30 hours per week at a gas station and earn $8.75 per hour. You also work as a landscaper for $11 per hour and can work as many hours as you want. You want to earn a total of $400 per week. How many hours must you work as a landscaper?

Answer:

$8.75(30) + $11(h) = $400

$262.50 + $11(h) = $400

$11(h) = $137.50

h = 12.5 hours
