To find out how many hours Jen worked, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Total Earnings} = \text{Hourly Rate} \times \text{Hours Worked}
\]
We know her total earnings are $780.45 and her hourly rate is $23.65. We can set up the equation and solve for hours worked:
\[
780.45 = 23.65 \times \text{Hours Worked}
\]
Next, solve for Hours Worked by dividing both sides by $23.65:
\[
\text{Hours Worked} = \frac{780.45}{23.65} \approx 33
\]
Calculating that gives:
\[
\text{Hours Worked} \approx 33.0
\]
Since 33 is one of the options provided, Jen worked approximately **33 hours** during the week.
