Question

Jordan saved 4/5 of the amount he needs to buy a 80.00 video game.if he earns 7.75 per hour by working at a pizza shop,how many hours does he need to work to save the rest of the money for the video game?

Answer 1

2.06 hours

Explanation:

Money saved by Jordan to buy a $80 video game =
`(4)/(5)` ×
`80` =
`$64`

So Jordon needs 80 - 64 = $16 more to get the video game

He gets $7.75 per hour by working, so assuming the number of hours to be x he needs to work to get $16, we can write it as:

`(1)/(x) = (7.75)/(16)`

`x = (16)/(7.75)`

`x= 2.06 hours`

Therefore, Jordan needs to work at least for 2.06 hours to save the rest of the money for the video game.
