4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation which shows the relation between the number of hours (x) a fitness center member works at the center per week and the number of calories (y) he burns per week is y = 220x.

Now, A new fitness center member wants to burn 880 calories each week.

Therefore, the number of hours he should exercise in the center per week will be given by 880 = 220x, ⇒ x = 4 hours (Answer)
