  $\$280.5$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  

Calculation:

  

For $12$ hours per week wage is $\$99.00$

So, for $1$ hour per week wage is $=\$\frac{99}{12}=\$8.25$

Again, for $17$ hours per week wage is $\$140.25$

So, for $1$ hour per week wage is $=\$\frac{140.25}{17}=\$8.25$

Again, for $21$ hours per week wage is $\$173.25$

So, for $1$ hour per week wage is $=\$\frac{173.25}{21}=\$8.25$

Again, for $32$ hours per week wage is $\$264.00$

So, for $1$ hour per week wage is $=\$\frac{264.00}{32}=\$8.25$

Hence, for $34$ hours per week wage is $=34\times$

  $1$ hour per week wage

  $=34\times 8.25$

  $=\$280.5$

Conclusion:

Therefore, the money she earned for working 34 hours per week is $\$\mathrm{280.5.}$
