Question

Allen earns $7 an hour to wait tables at a restaurant. In addition, he makes an $8 tip from each

table. He waited 6 tables and made $104. Which equation(s) below could be used to find the
total number of hours he worked? How many hours did he work?

Answer 1

Equation - 7h + 8t = $104

Hours Worked = 8

Explanation:

First, let's create an equation!

7h + 8t = $104 (Our variables are h = # of hours, and t = # of tables)

Now, we have to input what we know! We know that Allen worked 6 tables.

7h + 8(6) = $104

and finally we can solve this equation!

7h + 48 = $104

-48 -48

7h = 56

÷7 ÷7

h = 8

In conclusion, Allen worked 8 hours!

Hope this Helps! :)
