Answer 1

Mrs. Jackson worked 32 hours.

Explanation:

Given:

Mrs.Jackson earned a $500 bonus for signing a 1 year contract to work as a nurse.

Her salary is $22 per hour.

If her first weeks check including the bonus is $1204.

Now, to find the hours Mrs. Jackson work.

Amount of bonus = $500.

Total salary = $1204.

So, we deduct the amount of bonus from the total salary:

`1204-500=\$704.`

The remaining salary = $704.

As, given her salary is $22 per hour.

Now, to get the hours she work we divide the remaining salary $704 by $22:

`704/ 22`

`=32\ hours.`

Therefore, Mrs. Jackson worked 32 hours.
