Question

Jade works
hours a week.

Answer 1

To find out how many hours per week Jade works, you can divide her weekly paycheck by her hourly wage.

Jade’s weekly paycheck = $306.25
Jade’s hourly wage = $8.75

Now, divide the paycheck by the hourly wage:

\[ \text{Number of hours worked} = \frac{\text{Weekly paycheck}}{\text{Hourly wage}} = \frac{306.25}{8.75} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \frac{306.25}{8.75} = 35 \]

Therefore, Jade works 35 hours a week.
