Question

The accountant charged $35 for the first hour of work and $23 for each hour after that.He earned a total of$127 how many hours did he work

Answer 1

Answer:

He worked a total of 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first hour the man makes $35 dollars for the first hour then for the other hours he earns $23 dollars, right? So we start off with 35.

35 = one hour.

35 + 23 = 2 hours .  =  58.

35  + 23 + 23 = 3 hours. =  81.

35 + 23 + 23 + 23 = 4 hours.  =  104.

35 + 23 + 23 + 23 + 23 = 5 hours. =  127.

We were looking for if the man earned $127 dollars how many hours would be be working.

He'd be working 5 hours.

Hope this helps (:
