Answer:

12 hours

Explanation:

Full time job:

Earning per week = $475

Part time job :

Earning per hour = $11

Number of working hours per week at per time job to increase weekly earning to atleast $600 ;

Let number of hours = h

Full time earning + earning per hour * (number of hours) ≥ 600

$475 + ($11 * h) ≥ 600

$475 + $11h ≥ 600

11h ≥ 600 - 475

11h ≥ 125

h ≥ 125 / 11

h ≥ 11.36

Hence, sharia will need to work for 12 hours per week
