Olga worked 37.5 hours last week and earned $12.50 an hour.
[ h = the number of hours y = total earnings ]
12.50h = y
12.50(37.5) = y
468.75 = y
She earned $468.75 last week
If she gets a $2.50 per hour raise:
12.50 + 2.50 = 15.00
She gets $15 per hour.
How many hours will she have to work to make $468.75?
15h = 468.75 Divide 15 on both sides to get "h" by itself
h = 31.25
She needs to work 31.25 hours
