    Ok so your first step is to make this an equation

    she gets paid x amount per hour and she works for 22 hours

    so 22x plus her bonus

    22x + 500 = 1204

    so now solve the equation

    subtract both sides by 500

    22x + 500 = 1204

    -500 = - 500

    to get

    22x = 704

    now divide both sides by 22

    x = 32

    mrs jackson worked 32 hours to get her pay check
