Question

I got paid for 8 hours of work at a victory party, but the host added 20% as my tip and gave me $120. What was my hourly wage, with no tip? Write a description of your plan and how you solved the problem.

Answer 1

So first thing you are going to do is subtract 20% from 120, so...
120 - 20% = 96
Now you divide 8 by 96..
96÷8 = 12
So, you had gotten paid $12 an hour.

Best of luck~ Sans

Answer 2

120*0.8
96/8
12
The hourly wage without tip is $12
