Kinley · Answer 1

25 HOURS

Step-by-step explanation:

12.35 (x) ≥ 289

12.35 (20) ≥ 289

247≥289 NO FOR 20

12.35 (25) ≥ 289

308.75≥289 YES FOR 25 HOURS

Jose Rosario · Answer 2

y = 23.4 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

y$12.35 = $289

y = hours he'll to work

$12.35 = amount earned per hour

$289 = cost of the iPhone

Therefore

y12.35 = 289

Divide both sides by 12.35

y12.35/12.35 = 289/12.35

y = 23.4

y = 23.4 hrs

Fredrick will have to work for 23.4 hrs to get $289 for the phone

Check

23.4 x 12.35 = 288.99

= 289
