Question

during the summer you work 30 hours per week at a gas station and earned $8.75 per hour. You also work as a landscaper for $11 per hour and your work as many hours as you want. You want to earn a total of $400 per week. How many hours mostly work as a landscaper?

Answer 1

a very minimum of 12.5 because 30x8.75= 262.5 and when you subtract that from 400 you get 137.5 and that divided by 11 equals 12.5 

Answer 2

so first we need to find out how much money you earn at the gas station
30 multiplied by 8.75 is $262.50

then subtract that from 400 and you get $137.50

But we need to find how how many hour you need to work to get that much money so you divide that by 11.

You need to work 12 1/2 hours that rounds to 13, so 13 hours total.

Hope this helps!
