Answer:

He worked a total of 5 hours.

Explanation:

The first hour the man makes $35 dollars for the first hour then for the other hours he earns $23 dollars, right? So we start off with 35.

35 = one hour.

35 + 23 = 2 hours . = 58.

35 + 23 + 23 = 3 hours. = 81.

35 + 23 + 23 + 23 = 4 hours. = 104.

35 + 23 + 23 + 23 + 23 = 5 hours. = 127.

We were looking for if the man earned $127 dollars how many hours would be be working.


He'd be working 5 hours.

Hope this helps (:
