Question

Maria has $32. She earns $12 for 1 hour of cleaning. She wants to buy a birthday gift for her friend for $125. Enter the minimum number of hours Maria must tutor to be able to buy the gift

Answer 1

8 hours

Explanation:

First, you must subtract $32 from $125. You end up with $93.

Usually, you would do 93 divided by 12, but 93 is not a multiple of 12.

96, which is 12 times 8, is the closest to 93, so 8 hours is the correct answer.
