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!
