Question

Judah worked at the bakery for 14 hours last week. He spent $12 of his earnings on a cake for his father’s birthday. If he was left with $86 after buying the cake, what is Judah’s hourly wage?

Answer 1

7 bucks per hour

Explanation:

14x - 12 = 86

14x = 86 + 12

14x = 98

x = 98/14

x = 7 <== 7 bucks per hr

Answer 2

14x - 12 = 86
14x = 86 + 12
14x = 98
x = 98/14
x = 7 <== 7 bucks per hr
