He would have to work 37 hours and about 64 min to pay for the broken items. The cost of the three items he broke was a total of $197.63 and if you divide that by $5.25, you get 37.6438...so he would have to work about 37 and a half hours.

He will have to work 40.73 hours to pay off the things he broke

First we add the cost of all the things he broke, then we divide that by 5,25 and we get our answer
