Answer 1

24 hours

Explanation:

Divide 200 by 5.50

200÷5.50=36.36 (round to the nearest decimal)

Divide 68 by 5.50

68÷5.50=12.36 (round to the nearest decimal)

So if he worked 12.4 hours to gain $68,

We then can minus 12.4 from 36.4

36.4-12.4=24

He will need to work 24 more hours in order to have enough money
