Question

Seth wants to buy a new skateboard that cost 167. He has 88 dollars in the bank. If he earns 7.25dollars an hour how many hours will Seth have to work to earn the rest of the money needed to buy the skateboard?

Answer 1

The seth has to be worked for 10.89 hours for earn the rest of the money.

Explanation:

Given data

Cost of the skateboard = $ 167

Amount that seth has in the bank = $ 88

Rest of the amount needed = 167 - 88 = $ 79

Earning of the seth per hour = $ 7.25

No. of hours to be worked by seth for earning rest of the $ 79 amount is

`(79)/(7.25) =` 10.89 hours.

Therefore the seth has to be worked for 10.89 hours for earn the rest of the money.
