Answer:

100 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Monthly salary = monthly bonus + total wage based on hours worked

Monthly salary = monthly bonus + (dollars per hour x number of hours worked)

Given, monthly salary = $2000

MOnthly bonus = $400

dollars per hour = $16/hr

let h = number of hours worked

hence, equation becomes

2000 = 400 + (16 x h)

2000 = 400 + 16h   (subtract 400 from each side and rearrange)

16h = 2000 - 400

16h = 1600  (divide both sides by 16)

h = 1600 / 16 = 100 hours
