Solve the following word problem.

Alyssa worked 30 hours at her hourly rate and after
spending $120, she still had $180 left over. How many
dollars per hour does Alyssa earn?

Answer 1

10$ per hour

Explanation:

if she spended 120$ and had 180$ left, that means she had 300$ in the first place. of she works 30 hours, that means:

300 (the money she has)

÷ 30 ( her work hours )

When we divide this, the answer is ten. that is why she earns 10$ per hour
