Question

One week, Madelyn earned $265.60 at her job when she worked for 16 hours. If she is paid the same hourly wage, how many hours would she have to work the next week to earn $199.20?

Answer 1

12 hours

Explanation:

1. Start by dividing $265.60 by 16 hours to calculate the amount earned per hour.

$265.60 / 16 hours = $16.60/hr

2. Now, divide the new amount earned by her hourly wages (16.60)

199.20/16.60 = 12 hours
