Morgan earns $26 per hour plus 3.5% of her sales. How many hours a week does she have to work, not including her sales, if she is making $33,800 per year

Answer :

Answer:

Morgan has to work 1300 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of hours.

We have been given that Morgan earns $26 per hour plus 3.5% of her sales.

The amount earned from working x hours without sales would be [tex]26x[/tex].

Since she need to make $33,800 per year without sales, we will equate money earned in x hours by $33,800 to find number of hours as:

[tex]26x=33,800[/tex]

[tex]\frac{26x}{26}=\frac{33,800}{26}[/tex]

[tex]x=1300[/tex]

Therefore, Morgan has to work 1300 hours.
