Answer:
Jenna will have to work for 210 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
i) vacation is of six days
ii) $279 for airfare
iii) $300 for food and entertainment
iv) $65 per day for her share of the hotel, for 6 days = $65 [tex]\times[/tex] 6 = $390
v) Total expenses = $279 + $300 + $390 = $969
vi) Let x be the number of hours she will have to work to save for the vacation, where she earns $25 per hours
vii) She has $550 saved for the vacation
viii) Total savings + total earnings = Total expenses
therefore 550 + 25x = 969
therefore x = (969 -550) / 25 = 209.5 hours
therefore Jenna will have to work for 209.5 hours, or 210 hours (rounded up to the nearest whole number)
Answer:
She must work 15 more hours to pay for her vacation
Step-by-step explanation:
279+300+5(65)
579+325=904
She has already made 550 dollars so for the next part of the problem;
904-550=354
354/25=14.16
Normally we would round down but since she needs to make the minimum amount for her trip we round up to 15 hours.
Hope that helps, this is the correct answer.
