Question

IF YOU GET PAID $8.00 PER HOUR AT YOUR JOB AND INSURANCE IS $200 A MONTH, HOW MANY HOURS WILL YOU HAVE TO WORK TO PAY FOR INSURANCE?

x = number of hrs worked

8x = 200
x = 200/8
x = 25 <== if u work 25 hrs, u will have $ 200

Answer 2

your hourly rate = $8
you need to reach = $200
so,
let x be the number of hours you work

x = 200/8
x = 25
So you need to work 25 hours
