Question

Jordan saved 4/5 of the amount he needs to buy a 80.00 video game.if he earns 7.75 per hour by working at a pizza shop,how many hours does he need to work to save the rest of the money for the video game?

Answer 1

Answer:

2.06 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Money saved by Jordan to buy a $80 video game =  $\frac{4}{5}$ × $80$ = $64$

So Jordon needs 80 - 64 = $16 more to get the video game

He gets $7.75 per hour by working, so assuming the number of hours to be x he needs to work to get $16, we can write it as:

$\frac{1}{x} = \frac{7.75}{16}$

$x = \frac{16}{7.75}$

$x= 2.06 hours$

Therefore, Jordan needs to work at least for 2.06 hours to save the rest of the money for the video game.
