Question

Steve earned $7.40 per hour working his paper route. The first week, he worked 16 hours. After getting paid, he put $105 in the bank and spent the rest on rides at the carnival. Each ride cost $0.75. How many rides did Steve ride at the carnival?

Answer 1

7.40 x 16 = 118.40

118.40 - 105 = 13.40

13.40/75 = 17.86

He can ride 17 rides for 12.75

Answer 2

Answer:17

Step-by-step explanation: Multiply Steve’s hourly wage ($7.40) by the hours he worked in a week (16 Hours) that would give you your weekly earnings which would be (7.40x16=$118.40) Then subtract what he saved in the bank from your total (118.40-105=$13.40) then you would divide $13.40 (his leftover money) by $0.75 to find the total number of carnival rides he could ride (13.40/0.75=17.86 rides and because he cannot ride 17 and 86 hundredths of a ride he would be able to ride 17 carnival rides.
