Question

Earnings You work for 4 h on Saturday and 8 h on Sunday. You also receive a $50 bonus. You earn $164. How much did you earn per hour

Answer 1

Hello there,

best way to do this one is set up your story line....

4h + 8h + 50 = 164$...

let's make this easier to look at and combine like terms..

12h + 50 = 164$...

Beautiful!!! Now let's try and get the h alone?...

minus 50 to both sides...

12h = 114$..

now divide both sides by 12...

H= 9.50$/hour

Looks like you made 9.50$ an hour but Hey, at least you got that bonus ;)
