You earn $7.50 per house to help your uncle in his shop. You earn $33.75. Write and solve and equation to find how many hours you worked
To find the number of hours you worked, we can set up an equation using the information given.
Let's assume the number of hours you worked is represented by "h".
According to the problem, you earn $7.50 per house. Since you earned a total of $33.75, we can set up the equation:
7.50h = 33.75
To solve for "h", divide both sides of the equation by 7.50:
h = 33.75 / 7.50
h ≈ 4.5
Therefore, you worked for approximately 4.5 hours.
