For this case we have to:

  • The payment per hour is $ 19.20
  • The total payment was $ 1056

We can make the following rule of three to calculate the number of hours:

1 h --------------------> 19.20 $

x -----------------------> 1056 $

From here, we clear the value of x:

\(x = \frac {1056} {19.2}\\x = 55\)

Answer:

I have to work 55 hours to earn a gross weekly pay of exactly $ 1056
