    Part A:

    W = 8x

    -

    Part B:

    S = 8x + 12y

    -

    Part C:

    S = 8x + 12y

    -

    Since 368 is more than 8 x 40, she must have worked more than 40 hours:

    368 = 8 (40) + 12y

    368 = 320 + 12y

    12y = 368 - 320

    12 y = 48

    y = 48 : 12

    y = 4

    -

    Total hours worked = 40 + 4 = 44

    -

    Answer: She worked 44 hours
