Question

At a local restaurant, Amber earns $14.00 per hour with an 11.% deduction for taxes. Her overall earnings are modeled by the expression. 14 - 0.11(1), where a represents the number of hours

Amber deposits 45% of her overall wages into her savings account. How many hours will she need to work to save $2, 000?
A 357 hours
B 73 hours
C 286 hours
D 11214 hours

Answer 1

B. 73 hours.
