First, calculate the number of working hours in 10 days:
8 hours × 10 days = 80 hours
We can now rephrase the original statement to say "Ms. Gallegos made $2,400 for working 80 hours." Use this information to create the following equation:
80w = 2,400
Divide both sides by 80:
w = 30
Ms. Gallegos' hourly wage is $30
I hope this helps!
