Question

Marie has 55 in her bank account and she would like to buy a video game system that cost 395. Marie save $60 for each hour she works how many hours must you work to have enough money to buy the video game system? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

She already has $55, so we can subtract that from $395.

395-55 = 340

So now we can figure out how many hours she needs to work. We'll set up the problem like this, where x = the number of hours needed:

60x = 340

Divide each side by 60: x = 5.666(repeating decimal)

Rounding up to the nearest hour, Marie needs to work 6 hours.
