It is possible that Alex makes enough money for the plane ticket.

How to find the amount earned ?

Alex is working full time (40 hours per week) and earning an hourly wage of $9, plus a $100 bonus per week. So, her weekly earnings at the amusement park would be:

Weekly earnings at amusement park = (40 hours/week) * ($9/hour) + $100/week

Weekly earnings at amusement park = $360 + $100

Weekly earnings at amusement park = $460/week

Over 8 weeks :
= (8 weeks) * ($460/week)

= $3,680

Total earnings > Cost of plane ticket

$3,680 > $2,200

In conclusion, Alex can make the money required.

The full question is:
