You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let \"t\" = number of hours she worked as a cashier last week
\n" ); document.write( "Then \"t+%2B+8\" = number of hours she worked in diner
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "\"1200t\" = earnings last week as cashier (in cents)
\n" ); document.write( "\"635%2A%28t+%2B+8%29\" = earnings last week in diner
\n" ); document.write( "\"1200t+%2B+635%2A%28t+%2B+8%29+=+13275\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"1200t+%2B+635t+%2B+5080++=+13275\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1835t+=+13275+-+5080\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1835t+=+8195\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+=+4.466\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+%2B+8+=+12.466\"
\n" ); document.write( "This comes out 4 hrs 28 min as cashier and 12 hrs 28 min at diner
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"1200t+%2B+635%2A%28t+%2B+8%29+=+13275\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1200%2A4.466+%2B+635%2A%284.466+%2B+8%29+=+13275\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5359.2+%2B+635%2A12.466+=+13275\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5359.2+%2B++7915.91+=+13275\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"13275.11+=+13275\" (error due to rounding off)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
