Question

Mark works at the mall 3 hours on Friday and 5 hours on Saturday. He gets a

weekly allowance of $25 from his parent. If he made $85 this weekend, how
much does he get paid an hour at his job?

Answer 1

$7.50

Explanation:

3 hours + 5 hours = 8 hours

8 hours = $85 (total) - $25 (allowance)

8 hours = $60 (money earned from work)

1 hour = $60 ÷ 8 (hours he worked)

1 hour = $7.50
