Question

Write and expression and solve the word problem below: Ricky has a summer job working with his father. If he makes $10 an hour working with his dad. How many hours did he work if he made $ 70.00? Your answer

Answer 1

If he makes $10 an hour, then after n hours, he makes 10 × n dollars. if he made $ 70.00, then:

10 × n = 70

10 is multiplying on the left, then it will divide on the right

n = 70/10

n = 7

He worked 7 hours
