Jeremy is saving up to buy a new video game system. Two weeks ago, Jeremy only had $14.75. He has worked for 26 hours at the local grocery store, where he earns $10.15 per hour. If the video game system costs $400.00, how many more hours must Jeremy work before he can purchase the system?

Respuesta :

Answer:

12 more hours

Step-by-step explanation:

$400 is the cost (LESS) $14.75 that he has already

Total needed is now $385.25

He worked 26 hours at 10.15 = $263.90 that he already has

$385.25-$263.90 = $121.35

$121.35 Divided by his hourly wage of $10.15 = 11.95 (or 12 hours)
