    Answer:

    25 hours per week

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step one:

    given data

    Suri makes $15 per hour and gets a weekly bonus of $25

    Juan makes $14 per hour and gets a weekly bonus of $50.

    Let the number of hours worked be x

    and let the total earned be y

    For Surl

    The expression for the total is

    y= 25+15x———–1

    For Juan

    The expression for the total is

    y= 50+14x———–2

    Step two:

    Equate the two expressions we have

    25+15x=50+14x

    collect like terms we have

    25-50= 14x-15x

    -25= -x

    x= 25

    Yes its is possible that they earned the same amount if they work for 25 hours
