To find out how many hours Chong must work to earn $362.25, we need to set up a proportion based on the given information.
We know that Chong earns $69.00 for 12 hours of work. Let's call the number of hours she needs to work to earn $362.25 as "x":
69 / 12 = 362.25 / x
Now we can cross-multiply:
69x = 12 * 362.25
Simplifying the right side:
69x = 4347
To find x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 69:
x = 4347 / 69
Evaluating this expression:
x ≈ 63
Therefore, Chong must work approximately 63 hours to earn $362.25.
