Question

Luke’s Bakery recently spent a total of $69 on new equipment, and their average hourly operating costs are $15. Their average hourly receipts are $39. The bakery will soon make back the amount it invested in equipment. How many hours will that take? What would the total expenses and receipts both equal?

Answer 1

Explanation:

69 + 15h = 39h

69 = 39h - 15h

69 = 24h

69/24 = h

2.875 hrs <======

69 + 15(2.875) = 39(2.875)

69 + 43.125 = 112.125

$ 112.125 = $ 112.125 <====

I didn't round anything.
