: Please help me. Even though this problem is old. i sometimes get stuck!

you want to buy a digital camera, which costs $250. Right now you have $115 and work for $9 an hour. How many hours do you have to work to be able to buy a digital camera? This question is from textbook

Answer by colliefan(242) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If the camera costs $250 and you have $115, you figure out how much more you need to earn by subtracting 115 from 250. 250-115 = 135.

So, you need to earn $135. If you earn $9 per hour, you figure out how many hours it will take to earn the money by dividing 135 by 9 to see how many hours you need. 135/9 = 15.
You need to work 15 hours at $9 per hour to earn the $135 you need.
