Answer:
93.75 hours
Explanation:
The Demir family has a monthly budget of $5,500. Mrs. Demir works fulltime and takes home $4,000 each month.
Hence, the amount of money Mr Demir is meant to bring at the end of the month is :
Monthly budget - Amount of money that Mrs Demir takes home
= $5,500 - $4,000
= $1,500
From the question, we are told that:
Mr. Demir works part-time and brings home earns $16 per hour. How many hours per month must Mr. Demir work at his part-time job to make sure that he and Mrs. Demir have met their monthly budget?
This is calculated as:
$16 = 1 hour
$1,500 = x
Cross Multiply
16 × x = 1500 × 1
x = 1500 /16
x = 93.75 hours
Therefore, Mr Demir must work for 93.75 hours in a month at his part time job.
