Sagot :

Alex_Hours + Monica_Hours = 45
Alex_Hours * 11 + Monica_Hours * 12.75 = 530

From the first equation:
Alex_Hours = 45 - Monica_Hours

Substituting into the section equation gives:
(45 - Monica_Hours) * 11 + Monica_Hours * 12.75 = 530
495 - Monica_Hours * 11 + Monica_Hours * 12.75 = 530
Monica_Hours * 12.75 - Monica_Hours * 11 = 530 - 495 = 35
Monica_Hours * (12.75 - 11) = 35
Monica_Hours * 1.75 = 35
Monica_Hours = 35 / 1.75 = 35 / (7 / 4) = 35 * 4 / 7 = 5 * 4 = 20

Monica worked 20 hours -- Answer A.
