You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
E=hours at $8; T=hours at $12
.
E+T=30hrs
E=30hrs-T
.
$8E+$12T=$268
$8(30-T)+$12T=$268
$240-$8T+$12=$268
$4T=$28
T=7
.
E=30-T=30-7=23
.
ANSWER: 23 hours worked at $8, and 7 hours at $12.
.
CHECK:
.
$8E+$12T=$268
$8(23)+&12(7)=$268
$184+$84=$268
$268=$268
