Question

Judah worked at the bakery for 14 hours last week. He spent $12 of his earnings on a cake for his father’s birthday. If he was left with $86 after buying the cake, what is Judah’s hourly wage? $6.14 $7.00 $8.00 $9.63

Answer 1

$86 + $12 = $98
$98 /  14 = $7

Judah's hourly wage is $7.00

Answer 2

Answer:

$7.00

Step-by-step explanation:

If you do an equation, you'll have $y=\frac{x}{14}$ where $y$=money per hour and $x$=total money

The total amount of money will be what he had left, plus the money spent on the cake

If he expends $12 and still has $86 left the total will be $x= 86+ 12\\ x= 98$

Now you know the total and the number of hours worked on the week so, you need to resolve $y=\frac{x}{14}$ and you'll find $y$=$7.00
