Katelyn need to work to make $1,500 in her first paycheck?

Answer 1

Number of hours she needs to work to make $1500 in her first paycheck is; 117 hours.

• She is looking for a job that will pay her at least $1500 in her first pay check.

She saw one that is offering a $100 signing bonus and a wage of $12 per hour.

• This means if the number of hours worked is x, then the equation to find the total amount she can get after x hours is;

A(x) = 12x + 100

To find the Number of hours she needs to work to make $1500 in her first paycheck, we put 1500 for A(x) to get;

1500 = 12x + 100

12x = 1500 - 100

12x = 1400

x = 1400/12

x = 116.67

Approximating to the nearest hours gives;

x = 117 hours
