Question

- Mary earns an hourly wilge of $13 plus a $90

bonus. If Mary's total paycheck shows she
received $597, how many hours did she work?

Answer 1

Mary worked 39 hours

Explanation:

$597 - $90 = $507 - payment for hours only

507÷13 = 39

Answer 2

39 hours

Explanation:

Mary earns an hourly wage of $13

plus a $90 bonus.

Her total paycheck shows she received $597

Subtracting the bonus we get;

$597 - $90 = $507

1 hour -> she gets $13

how many hours will she get $507

Cross multiplying gives;

`(507)/(13) * 1 = 39` hours
