Seth wants to buy a new skateboard that cost $167 he has $88 in the bank if you earned $7.25 an hour at work how many hours will seth have to work to earn the rest of the money

Respuesta :

we can write an equation

[tex]88+7.25h=167[/tex]

where 88 is the money you already have, 7.25 is the earned money per hour(h)

so we need to solve h or the hours

[tex]\begin{gathered} 7.25h=167-88 \\ h=\frac{79}{7.25} \\ h=10.9\approx11 \end{gathered}[/tex]

seth should work approximately 11 hours
