Question

Allison is saving to buy a $500 dollar bicycle by working during summer vacation.

-The job pays her $8 for every 1 hour worked
-Allison works exactly 20 hours each week

If she works for 4 weeks and buys the bicycle, how much money will she have left over?

Answer 1

She'll have $140 left over. 20 hours times 4 weeks equal 80 hours, so 80 hours times 8 an hour will equal out to $640 so $640 minus $500 equals $140. Hope this helps. :)
