Sue whants to by a new printer that costs $189.She has $125 saved.She has a job that pays $8.00 an hour.How many hours must she work to earn enough to buy the printer?
Corbin's car payment is $289.This is $37 less than 1/3 of his monthly income.What is corbin's monthly income?
$189-$125=0.64/8hrs=8
Right!
Let x = Corbin's monthly income.
289+37 = (1/3)*x
Solve for x.
are you shure the x doesnt go with the 37!
DrBob is right.
289 + 37 = 326 = 1/3 of his monthly income.
326 * 3 = 978 = his monthly income
1/3 0f 978 = 326
326 - 37 = 289
13=3a-14 the answer is a=1.4
Nope. The answer is not 1.4
13=3a-14
13 + 14 = 3a - 14 + 14
27 = 3a
?? = a
To find out how many hours Sue must work to earn enough money to buy the printer, we need to determine the shortfall between the cost of the printer and her current savings.
The cost of the printer is $189, and Sue has $125 saved. Therefore, the shortfall is given by:
Shortfall = Cost of the printer - Sue's savings
= $189 - $125
= $64
Now, we can calculate the number of hours Sue needs to work to earn enough money to fill this shortfall. Since Sue's job pays $8.00 per hour, we can divide the shortfall by her hourly wage to find the answer.
Number of hours = Shortfall / Hourly wage
= $64 / $8.00
= 8 hours
Therefore, Sue needs to work 8 hours to earn enough money to buy the printer.
