Question

Marta just started a new job as an engineer. She is given a $9,000 sign on bonus and paid $4,500

per month. Write and solve an equation to determine the number of months that Marta must work
before she earns $27.000.

Answer 1

9000 + 4500 x n = 27000

4500 x n = 18000

n = 18000 : 4500

n = 4

4 months of work
