Question

Mariana received a bonus of $50 for working the day after thanksgiving ,plus his regular wage of 9.45 an hour .If his total wages for the day were 135.05 ,how many hours did he work ?

Answer 1

9 hours

Explanation:

50+9.45 x=135.05

9.45 x=135.05-50=85.05

`x=(85.05)/(9.45) =9`

Answer 2

135.05 = 50 + 9.45x
85.05 = 9.45x
x = 85.05/9.45
x = 9
Mariana worked for 9 hours.
