JoAnn works in the publicity office at the state university. She is paid $10 an hour for the first 35 hours she works each week and $15 an hour for every hour after that. If she makes $455 one week, how many hours did she work?

Well, the first 35 hours she works is $10 per hour. 35 ∗ 10 = 350
So that's 350 already.
Subtract 350 from 455. 455 − 350 = 105
Our goal is to get 105.
After 35 hours, each hour after that she gets paid $15. How many times can 15 go into 105?
105/15 = 7
We're done!
Take the first 35 hours she worked and add the 7 we got from our last equation.
35 + 7 = 42 h o u rs
She worked 42 hours to get $455 in one week.

well divide 435 by 10 so u can find if she worked 35 hrs. 43.5 hrs at $10 she did finish her $10 hours
455-350=105 105/15=15x/15 x=6
therefore she worked 35 hrs. +7 hrs. she worked for 42 hours in total
