Question

Andrew has two part time jobs. One pays $6 per hour and the other pays $10 per hour. He wants to make $366 per week. Write an equation in standard form that describes this situation. If he is only allowed to work 15 hours per week at the $10 per hour job, how many hours does he need to work per week in his $6 per hour job in order to achieve his goal?

Answer 1

He needs to work 36 hours for the $6 per hour because:
6*36=216
10*15=150
216+150=366

Answer 2

He would need to work 36 hours at his $6 job to get $366 a week.

Hope this helps!
