Question

Stan is saving up money for this trip. He currently has $500, and has an hourly wage of $30. How many hours does he have to work if wants to have at least $1250 for his trip?

Answer 1

He has to work at least 25 hours to make $1,250 for his trip. (plus the $500 that he already saved)

Explanation:

He currently has: $500 (I don't know if this $500 is counted in the $1,250. But I'm going to put it in $1,250)

So, 1,250 - 500 = 750

He only has to make $750 more to reach $1,250

Works and makes $30 an hour.

30

x25

--------

750

500 + 750 = 1,250
