you have saved $103.25 and will be working at trump the trumpet music store for $11.35/hr. How many hours must you work to buy your first car of $2550.99?

Respuesta :

Since you have already saved $103.25, substract that amount from the total cost of the car to find the remaining amount of money that you have to earn:

[tex]2550.99-103.25=2447.74[/tex]

Let h be the amount of hours that you need to work to earn 2447.74. Since you are paid $11.35 for each hour, after h hours you would have won:

[tex]11.35h[/tex]

For you to be able to buy that car, that amount must be equal to $2447.74:

[tex]11.35h=2447.74[/tex]

Divide both sides by 11.35 to isolate h:

[tex]\begin{gathered} h=\frac{2447.74}{11.35} \\ \Rightarrow h=215.6599\ldots \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, you must work for approximately 215.66 hours to buy your fist car of $2550.99
