Question

Carol gets paid $10 per hour to work as a lifeguard this weekend she worked on both Saturday and Sunday she made a total of $80 girl worked for five hours on Saturday for how many hours did she work on Sunday

Answer 1

Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Earnings = \ 10$ per hour

$Total\ Earnings = \ 80$

Required

Determine the number of hours worked on Sunday

If she works for 5 hours on Saturday, then her Saturday earnings is:

$Saturday\ Earnings= \ 10 * 5$

$Saturday\ Earnings= \ 50$

Her earnings on Sunday is Total Earnings - Saturday Earnings. So, we have:

$Sunday\ Earnings = Total\ Earnings - Saturday\ Earnings$

$Sunday\ Earnings = \ 80 - \ 50$

$Sunday\ Earnings = \ 30$

Number of hours worked is calculated by dividing earnings by earnings per hour.

So:

$Hours = \frac{\ 30}{\ 10}$

$Hours = 3$

Hence, she worked for 3 hour
