Question

Maggie earns money from working at the pet store and answering phones. She earns $10 each hour she works at the pet store and $0.25 for each call she answers. Maggie answered 60 phone calls and earned $115 last week. Create and equation that will determine the number of hours she worked at the pet store

Answer 1

115 = 10X + 0.25(60)

115 = 10x +15 (this is the equation to use)

100=10x

x=10 hours
