Kersha has two jobs. During the day she works as an office clerk, and in the evening she works as a cashier. Her office job pays her $12.00 per hour. Her cashier job pays her $8.25 per hour. In one week, Kersha worked 55 hours. She earned a total of $585.

Let c represent the number of hours Kersha works as an office clerk. Which equation can be used to find how many hours Kersha worked in both jobs?

A.
12c + 8.25(585 – c) = 55

B.
8.25c + 12(55 – c) = 585
