Question

James has already saved $68 for the $200 video game system.

If he earns $5.50 per hour in his job, how many hours does he need to work to earn the
remainder of the money he needs to buy the video game system?

Answer 1

Answer: 24 hours

Explanation:

First, we will find what he needs to make still.

$200 - $68 = $132

Next, we will divide by $5.50 to find the hours needed since he makes $5.50 per hour.

$132 / $5.50 = 24 hours
