Aworker’s total earning is $8.75 per hour plus a $10 tip; what are the hours worked if the worker earned $316.25 in one week?
explain step by step, i’m struggling.

First, you will subtract the $10 tip from the total earned, leaving you with $306.25 (earned from hours work). Your wage is $8.75/hr, so if you divide 306.25/8.75, you’ll get 35. You worked 35 hours to earn $306.25, and then got a $10 tip, bringing up your total to $316.25.

No because if you do the higher number minus the lower number you will get a positive. if you do it the other way around you will get a negative number
