Question

Kia is saving money to buy a Six Flags ticket. She worked for 6 hours at the library and earns the same amount each hour. Her grandmother then gave her $20. In all,she has $53.

Answer 1

She earns 5.5 dollars per hour at the library

Explanation:

I am going to assume that the questions is "how much she earns per hour at the library?"

Let's call x the amount of dollars earn by hour at the library. We know that she worked for 6 hours, thus she made 6x dollars.

Later her grandma gave her 20 dollars and she has now 53 dollars.

Let's write the equation and solve it

Amount earned + Amount given by her grandma = 53

`6x+20=53\\6x=33\\x=(33)/(6)\\x=5.5`

Thus, based on this information we would have that Kia earns 5.5 dollars per hour.
