Teri earned $18.25 an hour at the semiconductor plant. The payroll deductions reduced her paycheck by $182.50. If her first weekly paycheck was at least $547.50 after the deductions, how many hours did she work that week?

40 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

did 18.25*40 then subtracted 182.50 and it equaled 547.50

she played for 18.75 hours.

step-by-step explanation:

if she played 2/4 of a hour on tuesday. and there is 60 minutes in an hour and 60 divided by 4 is 7.5. and she played 2/4 of an hour on thursday then again 60 divided by 4 is 7.5, you add 7.5+7.5=56.25. now you have to do 1/4 of an hour, it equals 3.75. now you have to add them all up. 3.75+7.5+7.5=18.75

i hope this and i hope you get it right. it took me a while to get this done for you. : )
