Question

Jose wraps packages in the store.He is paid $8.75/h plus $2 for each package.How may packages must wrapped in 40 hour work week to earn $600

Answer 1

Answer:

125 packages

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation using the given information:

$8.75h+2p$

Insert the given hours and total pay:

$8.75(40)+2p=600$

p represents the packages. Solve for p. Simplify multiplication:

$350+2p=600$

Subtract 350 from both sides (inverse operations):

$350-350+2p=600-350\\2p=250$

Isolate p. Divide both sides by 2:

$\frac{2p}{2}=\frac{250}{2}\\\\ p=125$

He needs to wrap 125 packages.
