Bill receives a monthly stipend of $800. He also works at a bookstore making $8 an hour. He wants a monthly income of $1,200.
How many hours does he need to work each month?
Im pretty sure it would be 50 hours.
Now you try first.
To find out how many hours Bill needs to work each month in order to reach a monthly income of $1,200, we can start by subtracting his fixed monthly stipend of $800 from the desired monthly income, which is $1,200.
$1,200 - $800 = $400
So, Bill needs to earn an additional $400 each month through his hourly wage at the bookstore.
To calculate how many hours he needs to work, we can divide the additional amount he needs to earn by his hourly wage:
$400 ÷ $8 = 50
Therefore, Bill needs to work 50 additional hours each month at the bookstore to reach his desired monthly income of $1,200.
