    Answer: $15.50h + $50 > 400

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Weekly salary = $50

    Additional pay = $15.50 per hour

    The variable 'h' will be the number of hours worked.

    To earn more than $400 this week:

    $15.50h + $50 > $400

    $15.50h > $400 - $50

    $15.50h > $350

    h > 350/15.50

    h > 22.58

    15.50h + 50 > 400

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given;

    Weekly salary = $50 per week

    Additional pay = $15.50 per hour

    The variable h represent the number of hours worked per week

    The total amount earn per week is;

    Weekly salary + total additional pay per week

    50 + 15.50h

    To earn more than $400 this week, the total amount earned in a week must be greater than 400;

    15.50h + 50 > 400

    Solving the equation we have;

    15.50h > 400-50

    h > (400-50) / 15.50

    h > 22.58 hours per week.
