Answer:
He needs to work for 40 whole hours
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are tasked with calculating the amount a Tv will cost Bob in terms of the number of hours he needs to work.
Let’s look at the total cost he has to pay.
a. $500
b. 8% tax = 8/100 * 500 = $40
c. He is paying 2 bills of $35 each making a total of 2 * $35 = $70
The total amount he is to pay is thus; 500 + 40 + 70 = $610
Let’s look at his income ;
a. Bonus $45
b. Birthday gift $85
The total amount of money he has asides his salary to offset the bill is 45 + 85 = $130
The balance to pay from his salary would be $610 - $130 = $480
The number of hours he has to work since he earns $12 per hour would be 480/12 = 40 hours of work
16 is the answer. I think
The formula for depreciation is:

Where x = Initial value,
y= Amount after depreciation.
r= Rate of depreciation,
t = time (in years)
According to given problem,
x = 1040, y= 944 and t = 12 months =1 year.
So, first step is to plug in these values in the above formula, So,

944 = 1040 (1 -r)
Divide each sides by 1040.
0.907692308 =1 - r
0.907692308 - 1 = -r Subtract 1 from each sides.
-0.092307692 = -r
So, r = 0.09 or 9%.
Now plug in 0.09 in the above equation to get the depreciation equation. So,

So, 
b) To find the value of the bike after 5 months,
plug in t = 5 months= 5/12 = 0.41667 years in the above equation of depreciation.
So, 
y = 1040 * 0.961465659
y = 999.9242852
y = 1000 (Rounded to nearest integer).
Hence, the value of the bike after 5 months is $1000.
