Last week, you worked 8 hours more than your usual 35 hours.

What was the total number of hours you worked?

The total number of hours you worked is 43 hours

Solution:

Given that,

Last week, you worked 8 hours more than your usual 35 hours.

To find: Total number of hours you worked

From given question,

Usual hours of work = 35 hours

Last week work hours = 8 hours more than your usual hours of work

Here, "more than " represents addition

Therefore,

Last week work hours = 8 hours + usual hours of work

Substitute, Usual hours of work = 35 hours

Thus, we get,

Last week work hours = 8 hours + 35 hours = 43 hours

Thus the total number of hours you worked is 43 hours
