Question

Problem Situation: Ike has $126 in his bank account. He gets $20 for his birthday. He also has a part-time job that pays $8 per hour. How many hours will he need to work to have $250 in his bank account?

Choose the equation that correctly models the situation. The letter h represents the hours Ike will need to work.




(250−126)h=20+8

126+20+8+250=h

126+20+8h=250

250+126+20=8h

Answer 1

The answer would be 126+20+8h=250. This is because he is starting with $126 and is adding $20 from his birthday and the 8h represents the $8 he gets per hour until he can equal (get) the total of $250. I hope this makes sense!

Answer 2

126+20+8h=250
