david wants to buy a motorcycle for2500. He has no money in his savings. He gets a job where he earns $50 an hour. how many 8 hour work days will it take to reach his goal of 2500?
Must write an equation to represent the situation then solve and explain.
50(8d) = 2500
The amount of your bil is $3.10.You give the cashier $5.00. Complete the table to show how the cashisher might return the change.
To represent this situation mathematically, let's first find out how much money David will earn in a single day by working for 8 hours. We know that he earns $50 per hour, so his daily earnings can be calculated as:
Daily earnings = Hourly rate * Number of hours worked
Daily earnings = $50 * 8
Daily earnings = $400
Now, let's set up an equation to determine how many days it will take for David to reach his goal of $2500. Let's call the number of days it takes him to reach his goal x. Since he earns $400 per day, we can multiply his daily earnings by the number of days:
$400 * x = $2500
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by $400:
x = $2500 / $400
x ≈ 6.25
So, it will take David approximately 6.25 days of working 8 hours each day to reach his goal of $2500. However, since we can't have a fraction of a day, we need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, it will take David 7 days to reach his goal.
