Question

The owner where your work explains that you're paid $8/hour and receives a $25 bonus each month for being the manager. If the owner hands you a check for $250, How many hours did you work this month? Write an equation and solve.

Answer 1

28.125 hours

Explanation:

Amount of money paid per hour = $8

Bonus of being a manager = $25

Total amount of money paid = $250

To find:

Number of hours worked for this month?

Solution:

Let the number of hours worked =
`h` hours

Amount of money paid for
`h` hours = $8
`h`

As per question statement:

Bonus + Amount of money paid for
`h` hours = $250

`25 + 8h = 250\\\Rightarrow 8h = 250 -25\\\Rightarrow 8h = 225\\\Rightarrow h =(225)/(8)\\\Rightarrow \bold{h = 28.125\ hours}`

Therefore, the answer is:

Number of hours worked = 28.125 hours
