Question

One week, Daniel earned $554.30 at his job when he worked for 23 hours. If he is paid the same hourly wage, how many hours would he have to work the next week to earn $939.90?

Answer 1

He would work 39 hours next week.

Answer 2

Answer:

39 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find the rate of money per hour:

$554.30 / 23 hour

= $24.1 / 1 hour

Daniel earns $24.10 every hour he works.

To find the hours that Daniel has to work to earn $939.90, divide it by 24.10:

$939.90 / 24.10

= 39

Now, we can check:

$24.10 * 39

= $939.90

Hope this helps!  Please tell me if I was incorrect!
