$10 an hour and another job driving a tractor for
$
12
$12 an hour. One week she works in the office twice as long as she drives the tractor. Her total income for that week is
$
416
$416. How many hours did she spend at each job?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let t be the time she spends driving a tractor. Then her office job is 2t. So:
12t+10(2t)=416
32t=416
t=13
She spends 13 hours driving a tractor, and 26 hours in the office. ☺☺☺☺
