Question

One week, Ethan earned $391.00 at his job when he worked for 23 hours. If he is paid the same hourly wage, how many hours would he have to work the next week to earn $102.00?

Answer 1

6 hrs.

Explanation:

So 391.00 can just be converted to 391 because they mean the same thing, so since we have $391 for 23 hrs, we can divde those, which gives us 17, this answer would show that Ethan earns $17 a hour, so if we divide how much he earns by the hour by how much money he could earn by next week ( 102/17), that would give us 6, Therefore, Ethan would need to work 6 hours for $102.00
