Answer:

39 hours

Explanation:

First, let's find the rate of money per hour:

$554.30 / 23 hour

= $24.1 / 1 hour

Daniel earns $24.10 every hour he works.

To find the hours that Daniel has to work to earn $939.90, divide it by 24.10:

$939.90 / 24.10

= 39

Now, we can check:

$24.10 * 39

= $939.90

Hope this helps! Please tell me if I was incorrect!
