Question

Ruby wanted to get an iPod for 350$ she already had 52$ saved and if she worked for 8 hours a week for 9$ an hour how many weeks would it take her to get enough money for her iPod? i need to know how to check my solution

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe that the answer is 4.13 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she already has $52 you can automatically start by doing:

$350 - $52 = $298

Since she works 8 hours a week and earns $9 per hour:

8 hours x $9 = $72

Then, take $298 ÷ $72 = 4.13 or about 4 weeks

I divide 298 by 72 because $72 is how much she will earn per week, and by dividing this number by the total amount that she has left to pay narrows it down to about how long she has to save for.

Hope this helps!!
