Question

Chris has a balance of $54 in his account. he earns $9 per hour at the movie theatre. how many hours will he need to work for his balance to be zero?

Answer 1

6 hours

Explanation:

I assume the balance is on a credit card. He needs to pay off the $54.

He earns $9/hour.

$54/($9/hour) = 6 hours

In 6 hours he earns $54, and he can pay $54 to zero his balance.

Answer: 6 hours
