Question

3.

Stacey has a part-time job.
She earns £8 an hour.
She wants to buy a new smartphone costing £220.
How many hours does she need to work to earn enough to buy it?

Answer 1

28 hours

Explanation:

Divide the total cost of the new smartphone by how much Stacey earns per hour.

220 / 8 = 27.5

Round the quotient up to the nearest whole number to get your answer. We do this because Stacey would not get paid for only working part of an hour.
