Mariah has been hired as a receptionist. She is paid a flat rate of $225 each week and earns an additional $11.25 for every hour that she works. If her goal is to make $675 in one week, how many hours must Mariah work?
The equation is: 225 + 11.25 x = 675, where x is the number of hours that Mariah must work each week. 11.25 x = 675 - 225 11.25 x = 450 x = 450 : 11.25 x = 40 Answer: B ) 40
