Question

Jared started a new job. On the first day he had orientation and worked for 2 hours. On the second day he trained for 4 hours. After that, Jared worked 8 hours each day. If his first paycheck shows that he is being paid for 94 hours of work, how many days did he work a full 8-hour day?

Answer 1

Answer:

Jared worked 11 days as full 8-hour days.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have:

First day = 2 h

Second day = 4 h

After that = 8 h each day    

Since his paycheck shows 94 hours of work, we can find the number of days that he works 8-hour day:

$94 h = 2 h + 4 h + 8 h*x$

Where x is the number of days that he works 8-hours.

$8 h*x = 88 h$

$x = \frac{88 h}{8 h} = 11$

 

Therefore, Jared worked 11 days as full 8-hour days.

I hope it helps you!
