Hi

carmen needs to make at least $550 per month to pay for college classes

she receives $200 per month from a scholarship and earns $7.00 per hour at her job

Let s represent the hours worked

 200+7x = 550

    7x = 350

     x = 50 hrs

with a raise to $8.00 per hour

 200+8x = 350

    8x = 650

     x = 43.75 hrs
