Question

Art Jones worked a forty hour week and was paid

$250. This amount included a $50 bonus. What
was Art paid per hour?

Answer 1

5 dollars per hour

Explanation:

$250 -$50 = $200

$200/40hrs = 5

Answer 2

$5 an hour

Explanation:

Set up your equation like this: 40x+50=250

Then solve for x

First, subtract 50 from 250, leaving you with 200.

Then divide 200 by 40, and you get 5.
