Question

Levi saved 3/5 of the amount he needs to buy a 75 dollar video game. he earns 7.50 per hour working at the pizza shopin town how many hours will he need to work to pay for the rest of the game show all of your work to solve this problem expleain the Steps you used! thank you

Answer 1

3/5= 60/100
still has 40/100 left
proportion- x over 75 = 60 over 100
cross multiply- 75*60=4500/100=45

75-45=30
Needs $30

30/7.5=4

Needs to work 4 hours
Hope this helped.
