So far this week, you have worked 10 hours at your part-time job.
This is 80% of the number of hours you work each week. How many hours do you
work each week?
0.8x = 10
Oh, the circus is in town! Well, if 10 hours represent 80% of your working week, we can determine the total number of hours by calculating the 100%. So, let's put on our clown shoes and perform some math tricks!
If 10 hours is equal to 80%, we can set up a proportion:
10 / x = 80 / 100
Now we can cross multiply:
10 * 100 = 80 * x
Dividing both sides by 80:
x = (10 * 100) / 80
Drumroll, please! After simplifying the equation, we find that you work a total of 12.5 hours each week at your part-time job. So get ready to juggle your time like a pro!
To find the total number of hours you work each week, you can use the equation:
Total number of hours worked each week = (Total hours worked / Percentage)
In this case, the equation becomes:
Total number of hours worked each week = (10 hours / 0.80)
Calculating this, we have:
Total number of hours worked each week = 12.5 hours
Therefore, you work approximately 12.5 hours each week.
To find out how many hours you work each week, we need to use the information given. We know that you have worked 10 hours so far this week, which is 80% of the total number of hours you work each week.
Let's represent the total number of hours you work each week as 'x'.
According to the information provided, 10 hours is 80% of 'x'.
To find 'x', we can set up an equation:
10 = 0.8x
To solve for 'x', we divide both sides of the equation by 0.8:
10 / 0.8 = x
This simplifies to:
12.5 = x
So, you work 12.5 hours each week.
