Hello!

To find the hours she must work to have a total of 358 dollars, we would need to create a simple equation, and solve for the number of hours.

358 = 9.50h + 35

In this equation, h is the number of hours.

358 = 9.50h + 35 (subtract both sides by 35)

323 = 9.50h (divide both sides by 9.50)

h = 34

Therefore, Dora must work 34 hours to have a total of 358 dollars in her savings account.
