Question

PLEASE HELP Bill receives a monthly stipend of $800. He also works at a bookstore making $8 an hour. He wants a monthly income of $1,200.

How many hours does he need to work each month?

Answer 1

Bill will need to work 50 hours every month.

Explanation:

First, we subtract the stipend from the total income he wants to have since he will already recieve it.

`1200 - 800 = 400`

From this 400 dollars, we can divide it by 8, or his hourly rate to find the rest of the time he needs to work.

`(400)/(8)=50`

Bill needs to work 50 hours to make his total income of 1200.

Hope it helped!
