Answer 1

Given Data:

The salery of Jonny per hour is: $15

The bonus received at the end of month is: $85

The amount made by Jonny at the end of month is: $685

Let 'x' represents the number of hours Jonny worked in a month.

The expression to calculate the amount earned by Jonny at the end of month is,

`S=15* x+85`

Here, 'S' represent the total monut earned by Jonny in a month.

Substitute S=$685, and solve for 'x' to calculate the total hour worked by Jonny.
