Question

Sam made $189 for 9 hours of work. At the same rate, how many hours would he have to work to make S147?​

Answer 1

7 hours

Explanation:

We know 9 hours of work paid $189

to find how much Sam makes in one hour we divide the amount made by the time it took to make it

189 / 9 = 21 dollars per hour

then we know she would like to make $147 more at a rate of $21/hr so

147 / 21 = 7 hours

Answer 2

Answer: 7 hours

Explanation:

$189/9 hr = $21/hr

$21/hr(x) = $147

x = 147/21

x = 7 hours
