Question

Sarah borrowed $29.95 from her uncle and promised to work in his store at $2.60 per hour until the debt was paid. She worked 6 hours on Saturday, 1 3⁄4 hours on Monday and 1 1⁄2 hours on Tuesday. How much more money does she still owe her uncle?

Answer 1

She worked a total of 9 1/4 hours

She still owes her uncle $5.90

Explanation:

29.95/2.60

6+1 3/4+1 1/2

9.25*2.60= 24.05

29.95-24.05= 5.90
