Question

Last week, Pauline worked 35 hours and made $280.

How much money did Pauline make per hour?The boss at Pauline’s company makes $600 a week. How many hours would Pauline need to work to make $600?

Answer 1

$8/hour and 75 hours

Explanation:

In order to find how much money Pauline made per hour, we can just use division instantly. Let the amount of money made be x;

`x = (280)/(35)`

x = $8/hour

Since we've found how many Pauline made per hour, we can now find how many hours Pauline needed to work to make $600, also by division. Let the amount of hours needed for Pauline to work to make $600 be y;

`y = (600)/(8)`

y = 75 hours
