Answer:

15 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h = numbers of hour worked, x = tips, t = Thomas' pay, and m = Marie's pay

We can set up an equation for this question:

t = 4h + x

Now plug in 120 for x

t = 4h + 120

Now we set up Marie's pay:

m = 12h

Since Thomas and Marie made the same amount of money over the same number of hours, we can say:

4h + 120 = 12h

       120 = 8h

           h = 15

This means they both worked for 15 hours.
