It is given that,

1. Erica earned $50450 last year from 2 jobs.
2. Amount she earned at store was $1250 more than 4 times than her job at college.

To find:

• Money she earned from job at her college.

Solution:

• Let the money she earned at college= x
• So, amount she earned from college's job= 4x+1250
• So, x+4x+1250= 50450

5x+1250= 50450

5x=50450-1250

5x=49200

x=48200/5

x=9840

So,

The amount she earned at her college is $9840
