    Let t = the number of hrs spent driving the tractor

    Then the number of hrs spent in the office = 2t

    We can write the following equation for the total amount earned:

    10 * (2t) + 12t = 416

    Solve for t:

    32t = 416

    t = 13

    So she spent 13 hrs driving the tractor, 26 hrs in the office
