Question

Ali needs $60 to purchase a flute. She has $32. She can earn $4 an hour babysitting. Which equation could be used to find h, the number of hours Ali needs to babysit to earn enough money to purchase the flute?

Answer 1

32 + 4(h) = 60

Explanation:

The 32 in the equation represents the $32 Ali already has. The 4 represents how much she makes per hour. And the h represents how many hours Ali needs to reach her goal of 60. Now all you need to do is find h. h should equal 7. 32 + 4(7) = 60.
