Answer:
He needs to work for 40 whole hours
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are tasked with calculating the amount a Tv will cost Bob in terms of the number of hours he needs to work.
Let’s look at the total cost he has to pay.
a. $500
b. 8% tax = 8/100 * 500 = $40
c. He is paying 2 bills of $35 each making a total of 2 * $35 = $70
The total amount he is to pay is thus; 500 + 40 + 70 = $610
Let’s look at his income ;
a. Bonus $45
b. Birthday gift $85
The total amount of money he has asides his salary to offset the bill is 45 + 85 = $130
The balance to pay from his salary would be $610 - $130 = $480
The number of hours he has to work since he earns $12 per hour would be 480/12 = 40 hours of work
Answer:
40 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of TV = $540
(8/100) x 500
Breaking down further,
(2/25) x 500= 1000/25= $40
Therefore, the cost of the TV is $500 + $40= $540
Bonus= $45
Birthday gift= $85
Total income = $130
Bills= $35 x 2 = $70
Total expenses= $70
Net income= $130 - $70 = $60
Remember, TV costs $540
So, $540 - $60 = $480.
If Bill makes $12 an hour, how many hours will he have to work to pay for $480?
= $480/$12= 40 hours.
