Question

Lily makes $8.50 an hour babysitting. She has $55.50 in her bank account now . If she does not withdraw any money , how many hours will she need to work to have $200 in her account ? Please solve

Answer 1

She already has $55.50 in her bank account.

To have $200 in the bank account, she needs to add $200 - $55.50 = $144.50

$144.50/($8.50/hour) = 17 hours

Answer: She needs to work 17 hours.

Answer 2

The answer is explained below.

Explanation:

First of all, it is necessary to do the following subtract:

200-55.50=144.5, which is the money she needs to reach $200.

If she earns $8.5 an hour, we must divide the following:

144/8.5=18.06

So, if she wants to get up to $200 dollars, she must work a little more than 18 hours.
