Answer:

x=29.66hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we can model the equation for the total cost as

Let y be the total cost

Let x be the number of hours

Y=98+24x

Also, given that you have earned $810

We can substitute Y=810 and solve for x

810=98+24x

810-98=24x

712=24x

Dividing both sides by 24

712/24=x

x=29.66hrs
