Question

Ron works 5 hours for a total of $300. He deposits all of his money in his account. He is trying to save $500 for a new LED TV. How many hours must he work to take home $500, if he saves all of his earnings

Answer 1

He must work about 4-5 more hours, and if he works 4 hours, he would earn $240, and $300 + $240 = $540. Or, if he works for 5 hours, it would equal $300. $300 + $300 IS $600, and his savings may be $60 or $100. Your Choice.
