Answer:
amount earned in hour(s) = e × h
He need to work 25 hours to be able to afford the video game system.
Explanation:
Mark earns $8.25 per hour at his summer job. He want to buy a video game system that costs $206.25. An equation to model the relationship between the number of hours worked and amount earned can be represented below;
Number of hour worked = h
amount earned = e
amount earned in hour(s) = e × h
The number of hours marked need to work in order to afford a video game system is represented as
amount earned in hour(s) = $206.25
e = $8.25
amount earned in hour(s) = e × h
206.25 = 8.25h
divide both sides by 8.25
206.25/8.25 = h
h = 206.25/8.25
h = 25 hours
Answer:
First, write an equation to model the relationship between numbers of hours worked (h) and amount earned (e).
where e = earnings and h = hours worked
Then, solve your equation to find the number of hours Mark needs to work in order to afford the video game system.
since you need to raise $206.25, the your equation ⇒ $206.25 = $8.25h
h = $206.25 / 8.25 = 25 hours of work
