Question

One week, Jayden earned $87.50 at his job when he worked for 5 hours. If he is paid

the same hourly wage, how many hours would he have to work the next week to earn
$105.00?

Answer 1

Here answer

Explanation:

To find the number of hours Jayden would have to work to earn $105.00, we need to first find his hourly wage. We can do this by dividing his total earnings by the number of hours he worked:

hourly wage = total earnings / number of hours worked

= $87.50 / 5 hours

= $17.50/hour

Now that we know Jayden's hourly wage, we can use it to find the number of hours he would have to work to earn $105.00. We can do this by dividing the total amount he wants to earn by his hourly wage:

number of hours = total earnings / hourly wage

= $105.00 / $17.50/hour

= 6 hours

Therefore, Jayden would have to work for 6 hours to earn $105.00 at his job.
