Answer:

28.125 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of money paid per hour = $8

Bonus of being a manager = $25

Total amount of money paid = $250

To find:

Number of hours worked for this month?

Solution:

Let the number of hours worked = [tex]h[/tex] hours

Amount of money paid for [tex]h[/tex] hours = $8[tex]h[/tex]

As per question statement:

Bonus + Amount of money paid for [tex]h[/tex] hours = $250

[tex]25 + 8h = 250\\\Rightarrow 8h = 250 -25\\\Rightarrow 8h = 225\\\Rightarrow h =\dfrac{225}{8}\\\Rightarrow \bold{h = 28.125\ hours}[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is:

Number of hours worked = 28.125 hours
