Question

Eric made $209 for 11 hours of work. at the same rate, how many hours would he have to work to make $323?

Answer 1

17 hours

Explanation:

First we find out how much he makes in an hour:

$209 ÷ 11hr = $19/hr

Eric makes $19 an hour. To find how many hours he would have to work to make $323, we divide 323 by 19:

$323 ÷ $19 = 17 hours
