Answer:

Carmen has to work 9 hours to make $153.

Explanation:

Well first we would need to find out how much she makes an hour, so to do that we would divide the 221 by 13 hours and get 17. Then you just keep multiplying until you have the right number.

17x4=68

17x5=85

17x6=102

17x7=119

17x8=136

17x9=153

Answer:

9

Explanation:

221/13=17

So $17 for one hour

153/17=9

I dunno if this is right :)
