Stella earns $6.25 per hour working after school. She needs at least $143.75 for a new phone. How many
hours h does he need to work to reach her goal?

Answer 1

6.25h ≥ 143.75; h ≥ 23; 23 hours

Explanation:

Levi earns $6.25 per hour after school. Since he needs at least $143.75 to get a stereo the amount he wants should be equal to or greater than $143.75.

Let h = number of hours worked

The expression can be written as follows:

6.25 × h ≥ 143.75

6.25 h ≥ 143.75

divide both sides by 6.25

h ≥ 143.75/6.25

h ≥ 23 hours

Answer 2

h = 23 hours

Explanation:

Take 143.75 and divide it by 6.25

143.75/6.25 = 23

23 is the answer
