Caitlin works at a department store and earns $12.75 per hour. She has $42 removed from every paycheck for medical insurance. If her goal is to earn a gross income of $633.75 in one week, which equation will help Caitlin determine the number of hours (h) she must work?

$633.75 = $12.75h + $42
$633.75 = $12.75h – $42
$633.75 = $42h + $12.75
$633.75 = $42h – $12.75
