Solution Steps

To find the total number of hours worked in a year, we need to calculate the number of weekends in a year, subtract the weekends taken off, and then multiply by the number of hours worked each weekend. There are 52 weeks in a year, so there are 52 weekends. If you take two weeks off, you will not work for 2 weekends. Therefore, you will work for 50 weekends. Since you work 8 hours each day on the weekend, you will work 16 hours each weekend.

The total number of weekends in a year is given by: \[ \text{Total Weekends} = 52 \]

If two weeks are taken off, the number of weekends worked is: \[ \text{Weekends Worked} = 52 - 2 = 50 \]

Each weekend consists of 2 days, and if 8 hours are worked each day, the total hours worked per weekend is: \[ \text{Hours per Weekend} = 8 \times 2 = 16 \] Thus, the total hours worked in a year is: \[ \text{Total Hours Worked} = 50 \times 16 = 800 \]
