Jackson works as a veterniary technician and earns 12.20 per hour. Jackson normally works 40 hours a week. In a normal week, what is his total pay before taxes and other deductions? Last week,Jackson was ill and missed some work .His total pay before deductions was $372.10. Write and solve an equation to find the number of hours jackson worked

Respuesta :

h: hours
p: pay
your equation would be p=12.20h
if he works 40 hours you would times 40 by his hourly pay to get 122 dollars.
then, you would use the equation 372.10=12.20h and divide 332.10 by 12.20  to get the second answer of 30.5 hours (30 hours, 30 minutes).

Answer:

p = 12.20h

30.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jackson works as a veterinary technician and earns per hour = $12.20

He works in a normal week = 40 hours

Let hours = h and weekly pay = p

p = 12.20h

p = $12.20 × 40

   = $488.00

Last week Jackson was ill and missed some work.

His total pay before deduction was $372.10

To find the hours he work the equation will be

p = 12.20h

372.10 = 12.20h

[tex]\frac{372.10}{12.20}[/tex] = h

h = 30.5

He worked for 30.5 hours for that week.
