Question

Chandler wants to buy a bike

that costs $345. He has a job that
pays an hourly wage of $6. He
needs to pay back $35 that he
borrowed from his mom. How
many hours does Chandler need to
work to have enough money to
purchase the bike?

Answer 1

Chandler will need to work 6 hours to pay off the debt owed to his mom. After those 6 hours of work, and the debt paid off, Chandler will have $1 left over.
We can divide 345 by 6 to see the remaining hours.
345/6 = 57.5.

Chandler would need to work for 57.5 hours after paying off the debt owed to be able to afford the bike, working for a grand total of 63.5 hours.

Not sure if they would pay for a half an hour of work, so Chandler may need to work 64 hours, unless it’s stated they’d pay for a partial hour of work.

Hope this helps!
