MrRoyal

The number of hours worked this week is 50

How to determine the time spent?

Let the number of hours be x.

The hourly rate is given as:

$17

So, the total earning is:

Total = 17x

When he buys a new uniform, we have:

17x - 25

He has $825 left.

So, we have:

17x - 25 = 825

Add 25 to both sides

17x = 850

Divide through by 17

x = 50

Hence, the number of hours worked is 50
