Question 1134838: Kyle has $75 in savings. He has a summer job that pays him $7.25 per hour. He has to take out about 10% of his earnings for taxes and other expenses, however. How many hours will he have to work before he has at least $500 in his savings account?

He needs to make $425 to get to $500.
He is making 90% of $7.25 or $6.525 per hour
x hours
6.525x >=425
divide both sides by 6.525
x > 65.13, which means 66 hours ANSWER
check 66*7.25=478.50
minus 10% is -47.85
that is $430.65, just more than $425.
