Olga worked 37.5 hours last week at the library and earned $12.50 an hour. If she gets a $2.50 per hour raise, how many hours will she have to work to make the same amount of money as she did last week?

Answer is 31 +1/4 hours, in other words 31 hours and 15 minutes.

37.5x12.5=468.75 12.5+2.5=15 divide 468.75 by 15 your answer:31.25

Olga needs to work 31 hours and 15 minutes at her new pay rate of $15.00 per hour to match her earnings from last week of $468.75. This is calculated by setting up the equation with her new hourly rate and solving for the required hours.
