Respuesta :

Answer:

Number of hours= (Total earnings+ Total costs)/$15

Mika worked 18 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Mika´s earnings function is:

Total earnings= Total Payment-Total costs

The total payment depends on the number of hours Mika took to pint the neighbor's fence:

Total earnings= $15x-Total costs

Now we transform this equation to know the number of hours worked:

Total earnings+Total costs= $15x

(Total earnings+ Total costs)/$15=x

x= $174+$96/$15

x= 18

Mika worked 18 hours
