Question

You are a contractor and charge $65 for a site visit plus an additional $15 per hour for each hour you spend working at the site. Write and solve an equation to determine how many total hours you have to work to earn $950 working at two separate work sites.

Answer 1

54.6 hours

Explanation:

65x2 is 130 130-950 is 820 then 820 divided by 15 is 54.6 therefore meaning you have to work 54.6 hours to get 950$ you can check this by doing 54.6x15+130, might not be exact because i rounded to the nearest tenth.

Hope this helps!
