Question

A Sumer job pays $5 per hour

b. After working 24 hours, do you have enough money to buy an MP3
player that costs $100? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Yes, since the total pay of $120 is more than the $100 cost of the MP3 player.

Explanation:

hourly pay: $5/hour

number of hours: 24 hours

total pay = hourly pay × number of hours

total pay = $5/hour × 24 hours

total pay = $120

MP3 player costs $100.

Total pay is $120.

Answer: Yes, since the total pay of $120 is more than the $100 cost of the MP3 player.
