Question

Adam wants to buy a surfboard that costs $249. He has a summer job that pays him $6 per hour. The function y=6.50h represents Adam’s total savings. To be able to buy the surfboard, how many hours does he need to work?

Answer 1

38.3 hours

Explanation:

Given data

We have been given the function that describes his pay, which is

y=6.50h

Where h is the number of hours

now we have the amount y= 249

substitute

249=6.50*h

make the subject of the formula

249/6.5=h

h=38.3

Hence he needs to work for at least 38.3 hours
