At college, Marcus has a part time job where he earns $8.75 per hour. He also receives a $75 stipend(he gets this even if he doesn’t work) every month. Marcus needs $495 next month to help him with his tuition and housing.
PART A) Write an equation to represent the situation, where h represents the number of hours that Marcus needs to work to receive $495.
PART B) Solve.

Answer :

Answer:

Final answer is h = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: 8.75h + 75 = 495

Solution:

$8.75 per hour plus $75 a month. You need $495 this month.

First subtract 75 from 495 as that will be guaranteed money.

Then you are left with the equation below

8.75h = 420

Now all you have to do is divide each side by 8.75 and you will get h = 48.

Hope this helps!
