Answer :

Kathy worked 9.14 hours for Job A and 18.86 hours for job B to make 186.10

How to find how long she worked

Assuming hours of work for job A is x while that of job B is y

Job A pays $6.10 per hour, and Job B pays $6.80 per hour, to make $184.10, we have the equation below

6.10x + 6.80y = 184

x + y = 28

6.10x + 6.80y = 184

solving simultaneously using calculator

x = job A = 9.143 = 9.14 (to 2 decimal places)

y = job B = 18.857 = 18.86 to 2 decimal places))
