By creating a system of linear equations, the number of hours worked before they go to the movies is 10 hours.

Priya's earning :

  • Earning per hour = $8.40

Total earning, m = 8.40h - - - - (1)

Mai's Earning :

  • Let total hours worked = h

  • Amount earned for hauling bags = $14

Total earning = 14 + 7h - - - - (2)

Equating (1) and (2) ;

8.40h = 14 + 7h

8.40h - 7h = 14

1.40h = 14

h = 14 ÷ 1.4

h = 10 hours

Therefore, they'll have to work for 10 hours
