Question

Terrance makes $12.50 per hour doing landscaping and earned $275 this

week. How many hours did he work?

Answer 1

22 hours

Explanation:

We know that Terrance makes $12.50 per hour and he made $275 a week. We can divide 275 by 12.50 :

275 ÷ 12.50 = 22

So Terrance worked 22 hours

Check answer:

22 x 12.50 = 275

Answer 2

22 hours

Explanation:

pay rate = (amount of money)/time

(pay rate) * time = amount of money

time = (amount of money)/(pay rate)

time = $275/($12.50/hour)

time = 22

Answer: 22 hours
