Question

One week, Brody earned $396.10 at his job when he worked for 17 hours. If he is paid the same hourly wage, how many hours would he have to work the next week to earn $699.00?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to divide 396.10 by 17 to get $23.30 which is how much he earns per hour. Then you divide 699.0 by 23.30 to get 30 hours.

Answer 2

13 in addition to his first shift, or...

30 without counting his first shift.

Explanation:

He gets paid $23.30 per hour ($396.10/ 17), so divide $699.00 by 23.3 to get how many hours he would need to work in order earn the $699.00. (starting from $0)

if you need to know how many MORE hours he would need to work to get to $699.00 then you do the following

$699.00 - $396.10 = $302.90 (how much more money he needs)

$302.90 / $23.30 = 13 (how many more hours he will need to work after his first shift of 17 hours)
