Question

ben had a part time job at the fun station . suppose he worked 13.5 hours one week and made $81 . how much did ben earn per hour

Answer 1

81 = 13.5x

x is the amount he earns per hour.

To get the answer, use inverse operations and divide both sides by 13.5.

13.5x divided by 13.5 is x.

81 divided by 13.5 is 6.

6=x

This means that he earned $6 per hour
