Question

Ava earns $12 per hour working at a convenience store.

If she gets a bonus of $40 this week, how many hours must she work in order to
earn more than $350 ? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

More than 26 hours

Explanation:

Ava's salary per hour = $12

Bonus for this week = $40

Let the number of hours she works for earning more than $350 be x.

Then, $12x + $40 > $350

=> $12x > $350 - $40

=> $12x > $310

=> x > $310/$12

=> x > 155/6

=> x > 25.8333...

=> x > 26 [rounding to the nearest whole number]

So, she must work more than 26 ours in order to earn more than $350.

Answer 2

29

Explanation:

350 divided by 12 and you will get an answer of 29.16666667 and when you round off to whole number you will be getting 29 since there is a number less than 5 next to the decimal point .
