Question

Rubi works at a party-planing company and makes $7.50 per hour. Her weekly paycheck also inclides a $5 bonus for every party she schedules. Her $265 paycheck last week was for 30 hours. How many parties did she schedule? Explain how you found you're answer.​

Answer 1

8 parties

Explanation:

First, find how much of her paycheck was from working 30 hours:

7.50(30)

= 225

Then, subtract this from 265, to find how much money was from bonuses:

265 - 225

= 40

To find how many parties she scheduled, divide 40 by 5, since each party she schedules gives her a $5 bonus:

40/5

= 8

So, she scheduled 8 parties
