Question

Jim is paid $25 per hour at his job. He currently has $1,250 in his bank account. In order to go on a trip with his friends, he needs to have $2,500. How many hours over the next few weeks must he work until he reaches the amount needed to go on the trip?

Answer 1

Answer:

50hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how much he is missing to go to the trip.

2500-1250=1250

Now, take the missing amount divided by 25, to find out how many groups of 25, which represents the hours he still needs to work, in order to go on the trip.

1250/25= 50

Please don't forget to write hrs in your final answer as the units
