Question

Quan makes $72 a day as an Uber driver, plus $8 for each client he has. If

Answer 1

Answer:

Quan usually has 4 clients

Step-by-step explanation:

Working backward at math is to start with the final situation and work back one step at a time to get to the beginning.

We know Quan makes $104 a day, including his $72 fixed rate plus an $8 rate per client.

Subtracting the total and the fixed rate, we can find the variable part of his earnings.

$104 - $72 = $32

Quan usually makes $32 for the variable rate at $8 per client, thus he usually has $32 / $8 =4 clients.

Quan usually has 4 clients
