You can put this solution on YOUR website! She needs to work x hours.
Her daily income is 42x.
She wants to make at least $260 in one day.
 . The dry cleaning cost is not part of the problem. The description did not include anything about taxes. The description could be improved.
If Alice wants to make the dry-cleaning expense important and reduce her income, then  , because she wants to overcome the dry-cleaning expense and be able to have $260 AFTER the dry-cleaning expense.

Let amount of hours be H
then we get: 42H - 75 > 260
42H = 260 + 75
42H > 335
Amount of hours, or H >  , or H > 7.976190476, or amount of hours MUST BE at least 4.976190476 , or  , approximately
