2) Sven sells hamburgers at a ballpark. He earns $7.50/hour, plus $0.40 for each hamburger he sells.
b) How many hamburgers must Sven sell to earn $100 in a 6.5 shift?
How many hamburgers must Sven sell to earn $100 in a 6.5 shift?
A) 7.50/H & 0.4 = each hamburger
7.50 × 3 = 22.50
0.40 × 24 = 9.6

5*3
(6.5 * 7.5) + 0.4h = 100
48.75 + 0.4h = 100
0.4h = 100 - 48.75
0.4h = 51.25
h = 128.2 = 129 hamburgers
Well, let's do some math, but let's try to make it fun! 🎉
To figure out how many hamburgers Sven must sell to earn $100, we need to determine how much money he makes per hamburger. We know he earns $0.40 for each hamburger sold, so that's a good start.
Next, let's see how much money he earns per hour. Sven makes $7.50 per hour.
Now we need to figure out how long his shift is. In this case, it's 6.5 hours.
So, in 6.5 hours, Sven can earn $7.50 x 6.5 = $48.75 from his hourly rate alone.
To reach a total of $100, Sven needs to earn an additional $100 - $48.75 = $51.25 from selling hamburgers.
Since Sven earns $0.40 per hamburger sold, we can divide $51.25 by $0.40 to find out how many hamburgers he needs to sell:
51.25 / 0.40 = 128.125
Now, we can't really sell a partial hamburger, can we? 🍔 So, let's round up to the nearest whole number.
Sven must sell at least 129 hamburgers to earn $100 in a shift of 6.5 hours.
Keep up the good work, Sven! And may all your hamburgers be extra delicious! 🍔😄
To determine the number of hamburgers Sven must sell to earn $100 in a 6.5-hour shift, we can break down his earnings.
First, we need to calculate his earnings per hour. Sven earns $7.50 for each hour he works.
Next, we need to calculate his earnings per hamburger. Sven earns an additional $0.40 for each hamburger he sells.
Now, we can calculate Sven's earnings for selling a certain number of hamburgers. The formula is as follows:
Earnings = (Number of hours worked * Hourly wage) + (Number of hamburgers sold * Earnings per hamburger)
We want to find the number of hamburgers Sven needs to sell to earn $100 in a 6.5-hour shift. Let's plug the values into the formula and solve for the number of hamburgers:
$100 = (6.5 * $7.50) + (Number of hamburgers * $0.40)
We can simplify the equation:
$100 = $48.75 + (Number of hamburgers * $0.40)
$100 - $48.75 = Number of hamburgers * $0.40
$51.25 = Number of hamburgers * $0.40
To isolate the number of hamburgers, we can divide both sides of the equation by $0.40:
Number of hamburgers = $51.25 / $0.40
Number of hamburgers ≈ 128.125
Since we can't sell a fraction of a hamburger, Sven would need to sell approximately 129 hamburgers to earn $100 in a 6.5-hour shift.
