Question

Mrs. Jackson earned a $500 bonus for signing a one-year contract to work as a nurse. Her salary is $22 per hour. If her first week’s check including the bonus is $1,204, how many hours did Mrs. Jackson work

Answer 1

32 hours

Explanation:

First setup an equation

500 + 22x = 1204 the x represents how many hours she worked an that is what we want to know. So to find out x you do this......

22x + 500 = 1204

1204-500= 704

704/22 = 32

So, X = 32 hours
