Question

Marvin earns $8.25 per hour at his summer job. He wants to buy a video game system that cost $206.25. Solve your equation to find the number of hours Marvin needs to work in order to afford the video game system.

Answer 1

If Marvin worked
`h` hours, he made
`8.25h` dollars. Let's figure out when he made 206.25 dollars:


`206.25=8.25h`
Divide by 8.25

`25=h`

After Marvin works 25 hours, he'll have enough to buy the system.
