The way I like to solve proportions is by cross multiplying and dividing. First yo multiply the diagonals and then you divide by the other number. So if your proportion is 7/5 = x/3, your equation would be 7*3/5. So 7*3 is 21, so your equation is now 21/5. With some long division, you'll see that 21/5 = 4.2 That's your answer, feel free to ask more questions if you need!!(:

Answer: I forgot i remember the answer in my head I forgot..
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of hours needed to work = x
Multiply number of hours by rate: 15x
Add what you already have saved:
15x + 215
This needs to equal at least 800:
The equation becomes:
15x + 215 >= 800
Solve for x:
15x + 215 >= 800
Subtract 215 from both sides
15x >= 585
Divide both sides by 15
X >= 39
They have to work at least 39 hours.
