Question

Approximately how many hours would someone who earns $7.51 per hour have to work to earn $202.85? 27 30 35 37

Answer 1

1 hr = 7.51


202.85/7.51= 27.01 hours

Answer 2

Correct option is:

27

Explanation:

For 1 hour a person earns $ 7.51

Let he works for x hours to get $ 202.85

For 1 hour he gets $ (202.85/x)

⇒ 7.51=202.85/x

Multiplying both sides by x

⇒ 7.51x=202.85

Dividing both sides by 7.51

⇒ x=202.85/7.51

⇒ x=27.01

Hence, he has to work for 27 hours to get $ 202.85
