To find out how long Maura worked yesterday, we need to figure out how much money she made from her regular rate. We know that Maura made a total of $142 and $67 of that was from tips. So, the amount Maura made from her regular rate is $142 - $67 = $75.
Since Maura earns $10 per hour, we can divide the amount she made from her regular rate ($75) by her rate ($10 per hour) to find out how many hours she worked. This gives us $75 / $10 = 7.5 hours.
Therefore, Maura worked 7.5 hours yesterday.
Yesterday, Maura made $142 at her waitressing job. $67 was tips, and the rest was her regular rate of $10 per hour. How long did Maura work yesterday?
