Question 902669: A full-time student works two jobs. The first job pays $6.75 per hour and the second job pays $8.00 per hour. The student plans to work 20 hours per week. The first job offers 4-hour shifts and is near the student's apartment so she uses a total of 0.25 gallons of gas for a round trip to that job. The second job also offers 4-hour shifts; however, it is several miles from her home so she uses 1 gallon of gas for a round trip to the job. How many hours should she work in each job if she wants to work 20 hours, earn $155, and uses exactly 2 gallons of gas?
