Question

You have two summer jobs. In the first job, you work 25 hours per week and earn $7.75 per hour. In the second job, you earn $6.25 per hour and can work as many hours as you want. You want to earn $250 per week. How many hours must you work at the second job?

Answer 1

3.4 Hours

Explanation:

25 x $7.75 = $193.75

$250 - $193.75 = $21.25

$21.25/$6.25 = 3.4 hours

Answer 2

3.4 Hours

Explanation:

25 x $7.75 = $193.75

$250 - $193.75 = $21.25

$21.25/$6.25 = 3.4 hours

You must work 3.4 hours at the second job.
