Question

Johns friend told him that he could earn $49 for handing out flyers at a local concert. johns want to calculate the hourly rate. if he works total of 3.5 hours, the equation 3.5x =49 can be used to determine his hourly rate. what would johns hourly rate be, in dollars?

Answer 1

You would just divide $49/3.5=$14/hour

Answer 2

3.5x = 49...divide both sides by 3.5
x = 49 / 3.5
x = 14.....so he makes $ 14 bucks per hr
