Answer:Collin worked 18 hours.

Step-by-step explanation: Find the sum of what he spent and had left. 129 + 6 = 135. His paycheck was for $135.00. Divide the amount of his check by the number of hours he worked. $135.00 divided by 9 = 18. He is paid 18 dollars per hour.

129 + 6 = £135
135 (divided) 9 = 15

Therefore Colin worked 15 hours
Hope this helped :)
