Pam has two part-time jobs. At one job, she works as a cashier and makes $8 per hour. At the second job, she works as a tutor and makes$12 per hour. One week she worked 30 hours and made$268 . How many hours did she spend at each job?

Let the cashier hours be c. Let the tutor hours be t. We're given 2 equations:

1. c + t = 30
2. 8c + 12t = 268

To solve this system of equations, we can use 3 methods:

• Substitution Method
• Elimination Method
• Cramer's Rule

No matter which method we use, we get the same answer:

• c = 23
• t = 7
