QuestionHow many hours must you work at \$6.15/hour to earn at least \$100?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The hourly wage is $6.15. The goal is to earn at least$ 1003. Only full hours of work are counted

STEP 2

We need to find the number of hours required to earn at least $100. We can do this by dividing the target amount by the hourly wage.
$Hours = Target\, amount / Hourly\, wage$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the target amount and hourly wage to calculate the hours.
$Hours = \$100 / \$6.15$

STEP 4

Calculate the number of hours.
$Hours = \$100 / \$6.15 \approx16.26$

STEP 5

Since we can only count full hours of work, we need to round up to the nearest whole number. This is because even if you work a fraction of an hour more than16 hours, you will still need to work that full hour to earn more than $100.
$Hours = \lceil16.26 \rceil =17$ You must work17 full hours to earn at least $100.
