            First,  the formulation is  OBVIOUSLY  incorrect.

            To be correct,  it must say that  "As a wedding photographer she can earn  10  Jordan Dinars  (JOD)  per hour".

            Second,  to solve this problem,  you do not need to follow a standard procedure solving LP problems.

            Common sense and a bit of mental reasoning is enough.


She wants to earn maximum money.


For it, she should work at the greater hour salary as long as possible: as long as the restrictions do allow.


The restrictions allow her to work 20-6 = 14 hours at the rate of 10 JOD per hour.

The remaining 6 hours she wants to work at the rate of 8 JOD per hour.



It is the solution and the ANSWER to the problem:


    At given conditions, the maximum earning is  14*10 + 6*8 = 188 JOD.

    It is achieved at 14 hours working at 10 JOD per hour and 6 hours working at 8 JOD per hour.


Solved and thoroughly explained.


----------------


I hope that you will get much more benefits from this mental solution than from formal  LP-solution.

It is the way on how this simple problem  SHOULD  BE  solved and  how it IS  EXPECTED  to be solved among reasonable people.
