She worked 9 hours on store and gave piano lessons for 6 hours

Cost of 1 hour on shop = $8.47

Cost of x hours on shop = $8.47x

Let y be the no. of hours she gave piano lessons

Cost of 1 hour for piano lessons = $17

Cost of y hours on shop = $17y

Now we are given that She worked for 15 hours

So, ---1

We are also given that she earned $178.23 between the two jobs

So, --2

Plot equation 1 and 2 on graph

Refer the attached figure

-- Green line

Intersection point gives the solution .

Intersection point = (9,6)

So, x = 9 and y = 6

So, she worked 9 hours on store and gave piano lessons for 6 hours
