Question

If Lydia has a straight-time pay of $697.20 per Iveek as a dental assistant, how many hours does she work

per week? Use the table from #2 above to help you.

Answer 1

Answer is 40 Hours worked that week

Step by step

We know Pay rate x Hours = gross pay

We know her gross pay is 697.20 per week

We know she makes $17.43 per hour “H”

17.43 H = 697.20

Divide both sides by 17.43 to solve for “H”

17.43/17.43 H = 697.20/17.43

H = 40 Hours
