42 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the answer, we should start with the total and get rid of the amounts that we know.
So we know the total is 1,172 in a week, and that 500 dollars of it is for rent.
1,172 - 500 =672.
Now we have 672 left.
We know that it was all spent on employees.
we know it is $16 for each hour.
672 divided by 16 is 42 total hours.
Hope this helps!
