Question

Peggy has saves 9,215. If she is paid $45 an hour, how many hours did she work?

Answer 1

First we set up our equation. We know she has $9,215, and she gets paid $45 an hour. So our variable would be the hours she has to work.

45n=9,215

Since we don't have any like terms to combine, we just divide both sides by 45, to isolate the variable.

n=204.8 Hope this helped!
