Carlisle has $1,200 in his piggy bank. The car he wants is a 2019 Dodge Charger costing $36,000. Carlisle works at Chipotle and makes $12 per hour. Because Chipotle won't give him a raise and he doesn't want to find a new job, Carlisle decides to look for a cheaper vehicle. He decides to buy a 1987 Harley Davidson motorcycle costing $4,000. How many hours must Carlisle work at Chipotle to have enough money to buy the Harley Davidson motorcycle?

He would have to work 350 hours or 14 days but he would end up making over the amount he wants specifically 200 dollars. In all he would make 4,200 dollars.
