Question

Elijah gets paid $15.50 per hour in addition to a weekly salary of $50. This week he wants to earn more than $400. How many hours will he need to work?

Answer 1

h=number of hours
m=total salary
m=15.50h+50
put 400 in for m
400=15.50h+50
now solve for h
400=15.50h+50
-50. -50
350=15.50h
Divide 350 by 15.50to get your final answer
you get a long decimal so I rounded it.
22.6 hours
