Step-by-step explanation: Multiply Steve’s hourly wage ($7.40) by the hours he worked in a week (16 Hours) that would give you your weekly earnings which would be (7.40x16=$118.40) Then subtract what he saved in the bank from your total (118.40-105=$13.40) then you would divide $13.40 (his leftover money) by $0.75 to find the total number of carnival rides he could ride (13.40/0.75=17.86 rides and because he cannot ride 17 and 86 hundredths of a ride he would be able to ride 17 carnival rides.
This equation represent this problem because you are paid $5 an hour AFTER the first hour because you were paid an initial $20 for the first two hours.
