Question

Lester worked 12 hours last week at the grocery store and earned $93.00. If he continues to earn the same hourly pay, how many additional hours must he work to earn another $62.00?

Answer 1

93 / 12 = 7.75

so Lester earns $7.75 a hour.

if he earns $62 how many hours did he work.

so 62 = 7.75 (h)

62/ 7.75 = 8

so he worked 8 hours.

Answer 2

Answer:8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Lester worked 12 hours last week at the Grocery Store and earned $93.00

Using Unitary method to get 1 hour pay

i.e. for 1 hour Lester is paid $\frac{93}{12}$=$7.75 per hour

To earn $62 dollar Lester has to work for another

$\frac{62}{7.75}$=8 hours

Thus Lester has to work for 8 hours to earn $62.
