Sydawna earns a total of $219.75 in one week. If she works 13 hours at the toy store, how many hours does she work at the gas station?
Help is much needed!!

Answer 1

• 9 hours

Explanation:

Given the equation:

• E = 9.25g + 10.50t

• E - weekly total, g- number of hours at gas station, t- number of hours at toy store.

Substitute given values into equation and solve for the missing one:

• 219.75 = 9.25g + 10.5*13
• 219.75 = 9.25g + 136.5
• 9.25g = 219.75 - 136.5
• 9.25g = 83.25
• g = 83.25/9.25
• g = 9

Sydawna works 9 hours at the gas station
