    Office clerk - 30 hours

    Cashier - 16 hours

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are given that Soren's office job pays him $11 per hour while his cashier job pays him $8.75 per hour.

    If he has worked for a total of 46 hours and earned $470, we have to find the number of hours he worked in each job.

    Assuming x represent the number of hours that Soren works as an office clerk, we can write the following equation:

    11x + 8.75 (46 - x) = 470

    11x + 402.5 - 8.75x = 470

    11x - 8.75x = 470 - 402.5

    2.25x = 67.5

    x = 67.5/2.25

    x = 30

    Number of hours Soren worked as office clerk = 30 hours

    Number of hours Soren worked as a cashier = 46 - 30 = 16 hours
