Question

A cleaning lady charges $12 per hour. If she earned $348 last week, then how many hours did she work?

Answer 1

Charge per hour = $12

Total earnings = $348

The equation for the total earnings is:

Charge per hour (12) multiplied by the number of hours (x) equals 348.

12x=348

Solve for x (hours)

Divide both sides by 12:

12x/12 = 348/12

x= 29

She worked 29 hours
