    For this case we have the following equation:

    y = 7.75x

    Where,

    x: number of hours

    y: total profit

    Substituting for x = 40 we have:

    y = 7.75 * (40)

    y = 310 $

    We note that it does not meet the goal (310 $ <400 $)

    Therefore, we must find the number of hours you should work:

    400 = 7.75x

    Clearing x:

    x = 400 / 7.75

    x = 51.61290323

    rounding:

    x = 52 hours

    Answer:

    she will not earn her goal based on this schedule.

    she needs to request 52 hours.
