Answer:

155 sandwiches

Explanation:

First we see what the base rate is for his six-hour shift. We do this by multiplying 10.50 by 6 which is 63. Then we do 125-63 which is 62. As he gets 42 cents per sandwich so we do 62÷0.40, which equals 155 so he needs to sell 155 sandwiches.

Answer:

He needs to sell 157 sandwiches to earn $125

Explanation:

●$10.50×6 hrs= $63

●$125 - $63= $62 {So he needs to sell $62 worth of sandwiches}

●$0.40 × 157= $62

pov:《$62 + $63 = $125》
