Question

Jackson earns $25 per hour as a tutor at the college library. he set a weekly spending budget of $130 a week and push the remaining money in the savings account how many hours most to work this week in order to have at least an extra $50 to put in the savings account

Answer 1

Answer:

Jackson should work at least 8 hours this week to achieve his target.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jackson's hourly income = $25

His weekly spending budget = $130

Minimum amount to be pushed to the savings account = $50

So, minimum total amount Jackson should earn this week = 130 + 50 = 180

Number of hours to work this week = $\frac{Minimum total amount}{hourly income}$

= $\frac{180}{25}$

= 8 rounded to next integer

Hence, Jackson should work at least 8 hours this week to achieve his target.
