44 hours

473=10.75h

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

let h represents the number of hours she works

let rate= $10.75 per hour

let earnings =$473.00

to know the total earned, we can write this equation

total earned= time worked*rateto find

Now, replace


\begin{gathered} 473=h\cdot10.75 \\ 473=10.75h\rightarrow equation \end{gathered}

Step 2

now, let's solve the equation to find the number of hours she would have to work to earn $473


473=10.75h

we need to isolate h, The division property of equality states that when we divide both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number, the two sides remain equal, we can use this fact


\begin{gathered} 473=10.75h \\ \text{divide both sides by 10.75} \\ (473)/(10.75)=(10.75)/(10.75)h \\ 44=h \end{gathered}

therefore, the answer is 44 hours

I hope this helps you
