Question

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME ! Jerry wants to buy his grandpa's old car for $500.00. He works 10 hours a week

at $7.50 an hour. How many weeks will he need to work before he earns enough
money to buy the car? Write and equation

Answer 1

Explanation:

Needs $500 Makes 7.50 and works 10 hours week.

7.50*10= $75.00 a week

500/75= 6.6 weeks or 6 weeks and 2/3 of a week. I'd round to 7 weeks.

75(x)=500 X= weeks needed.

75x=500 if you divide 500 by 75

x=20/3 or 6.6
