Question

4. Tyrone needs to save $100 to pay for his trip to

New York. He earns money delivering pizzas.
He has already saved $45.50
He makes $9.25 an hour delivering pizza.
How many hours must Tyrone work to have at least
$100 saved?

Answer 1

6 hours

Explanation:

Subtract saved amount from required amount :

• $100 - $45.50
• $54.50

Divide by the pay rate :

• $54.50 / $9.25
• 5.89 ≅ 6

Tyrone must work at least 6 hours to have $100 saved.
