Question

Write the equation for the word problem

Devon became a waiter at a fancy restaurant. He makes $9 per hour. One night he made $150 in tips. How many hours did he work if he made a total of $226.50.

Answer 1

226.50 is the answer for your question

Answer 2

9x + 150 = 226.50

Explanation:

Devon makes $9 per hour. So, that signalizes "9x" (x representing the amount of hours he worked)

$150 represents how much he made one night, so you would add that to 9x. (9x + 150)

Finally, it gives you the total amount: 226.50

In conclusion, your equation should be: 9x + 150 = 226.50
