Question

Jordan saved 4/5 of the amount he needs to buy a $80 video game. If he earns $7.75 per hour by working at a pizza shop, how many hours does he need to work to save the rest of the money for the video game? round to the nearest hour

Answer 1

So Jordan has already saved 4/5 of 80, which is 64. That means he need 16 more dollars, right?

If he earns 7.75 per hour, and we need to find how many hours make $16 we just divide 16/7.75

You should get roughly 2.06

Rounded to the nearest hour is two hours, which is our final answer. :)
