Question

William is planning an 8-night road trip. It will cost $80 for transportation, $220 for food, and $90 per night for a hotel room. He has $684 in savings and can earn $24 per hour tutoring. How many hours must he tutor to have enough money to pay for the trip

Answer 1

14 hours

Explanation:

$80 transportation costs + $220 food costs + $720 hotel costs ($90 x 8 nights) = $1020 total cost

$1020 - $684 in savings = $336.00 still needed for trip

$336.00 divided by $24.00/hr for tutoring = 14

William will need to tutor 14 hours to earn the rest of the money for his trip.

Happy Monday!
