Amount of money saved by Jordon for the video game = (4/5) * 80 = 4 * 16 dollars = 64 dollars So The amount of money that Jordan needs to earn more for buying the video game = (80 - 64) dollars = 16 dollars Amount earned by Jordan per hour working at a pizza shop = $7.75 Let us assume the number of hours Jordan needs to work to save the rest of the money for the video game = x Then 7.75x = 16 x = 16/7.75 = 2.06 hours So it can be said that Jordan has to work 3 hours to save the rest of the money for the video game. If Jordan works 2 hours then he will be short of the required amount. If Jordan works for 3 hours he will have some excess amount in his hand after saving for the video game.
It makes the addition easier if you combine like terms like the two 1/2s and then make them all have the denominator of 12 (changing the numerators to equal it out)
