The time taken by tutor to make $500 more than a student working in the library is nearly 91 hours.

Algebraic equation:

If a person do job in library for x hours,

Then person earning = [tex]10.75*x=10.75x[/tex]

If a person do job in tutoring center for x hours,

Then person earning = [tex]16.25*x=16.25x[/tex]

If tutor make over $500 more than a student working in the library.

Then equation is,

[tex]16.25x-10.75x=500\\\\5.5x=500\\\\x=500/5.5=90.9=91[/tex]
