Question

Jessica’s mother gave her $20 to purchase a Christmas gift for her grandmother. The gift she wants to purchase is $37.47. If Jessica gets paid $8 an hour to babysit, how many hours will she need to work to be able to pay for her grandmother’s gift?

Answer 1

Answer: 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation: if you do it like 20 + 8+ 8+ 8= 44 so you will have more than 37.47

Answer 2

37.47 >/= 20+8x

-20 from both sides

17.47 >/= 8x

divide 8 by both sides
