Question

2) Lucas has saved $50. He earns
$18.00 per hour at his job. He plans to
buy ticket to go on a cruise for $2300.
Write the minimum number of hours
Lucas must work to buy the ticket.

Answer 1

Answer:

125 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Lucas already has $50. Since he get $18 per hour, you should use that to get the answer. After a little while, I got 125×18 and got 2250. If you add up the $50 he already has, the minimum hours he has to work is 125 hours which is about 5 days.

Answer 2

Answer:

I think the answer is 125 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unit rate we divide $2300 divided by $18.00

$2300 ÷ 18 = 127.777778

We round that up to 128

We also need to find the unit rate of his saved money

$50 ÷ $18.00 = 2.77777777778

We round that up to 3

128 hours - 3 hours = 125 hours
