Answer: 7.7 hours

Explanation:

Since she already has 345 dollars, we can subtract that amount from the total:

1500-345= 1155

So now you take you use your new total, and make a formula to divide it by 150 (the number of dollars made every hour):

1155=150h

(divide both sides by 150)

7.7=h

She needs to work 7.7 hours.

Answer:

Jane needs to work 7.7 hours

Explanation:

Jane needs $1500

She already has $345

$1500 - $345 = $1155

She needs $1155

Jane makes $150 per hour

$1155 ÷ $150 = 7.7 hours

7.7 hours

Hope this helps :)
