You can put this solution on YOUR website!
At .30/hr, in order to make $50/wk, that is:
50 dollars/week x 1%2Fx weeks/hours x 100 cents/dollar
= 30 cents/hr
or
%2850%2Fx%29%2A100+=+30
+x+=+5000%2F30+
+x+=+166.67 hrs
Even working 7 days a week, that's
166.67%2F7+=+23.81 hrs/day
That leaves less than an hour to sleep
