Question

Milo needs $225 for a new jaket. He already has $54. He earns $9 an hour working for his dad. The equation shows this relationship. How many hours does Milo
need to work for his dad in order to have enough money to purchase the jaket

Answer 1

He needs to work a little over 22 hours.

Answer 2

Given:

• Money needed to buy new jacket = $225
• Money he already has $54
• He earns per hour = $9

To find:-

• Total hours Milo need to work for his dad

Let :

• Total hours Milo need to work for his dad be x

Solution:

So as we know he already has $54

• Actual Money needed = Money needed to buy new jacket – Money he already has

• Actual Money needed =$225 - $54

• Actual Money needed = $171

Equation formed to find value of x :-

$\leadsto \sf9x = 171$

$\leadsto \sf x = \dfrac{171}{9}$

$\leadsto \sf x = \dfrac{3 \times 3 \times 19}{9}$

$\leadsto \sf x = \dfrac{ \cancel3 \times 3 \times 19}{ \cancel9}$

$\leadsto \sf x = \dfrac{ \cancel3 \times 19}{ \cancel3}$

$\leadsto \bf x = 19$

$\therefore \underline {\textsf{\textbf{No. of hours required is equal to\red{ 19 hours}}}}$
