47 - 11.50 = $35.50 needs to be earned.

If she works 6 hours:

6.50 x 4 = 26

5.25 x 2 = 10.50

26 + 10.50 = $36.50 how much she would earn by working 6 hours.

when you add the amount of money she would earn for working 6 hours $36.50 plus the money she had already had saved up $11.50 the total amount of money she would have is $48.00

So, yes. She would be able to go on the field trip if she worked at both jobs to 6 hours.
