Answer 1

8 weeks

Explanation:

So first you find out how much money he makes per week, by doing 7.5 x 20 you will find that. Now you need to find how many weeks it will take, find this by dividing 1200 by the amount he makes per week and you will end up with 8.

Answer 2

8 Weeks

Explanation:

Earning per hour = $7.50

and Javier works 20 hours per week

Therefore, in one week, Javier will earn $7.50 X 20 = $150

To save $1,200.00 for school, Javier will need to work;

1200.00 / amount earned per week

This will give;

1200.00 / 150

= 8 weeks
