Question

6. Choose the equation for the problem.

A contractor calculated his fee as $50 plus $25/hour. How many hours did he work if his bill was $300?
50 +25
= 300
50(25h) = 300
50
25h
300
50 + 25h = 300

Answer 1

The answer is 12 hours… $300 divided by $25= 12 hours

Answer 2

He would have worked 10 hours. 50+25(10)=300
50+250=300
