Rolex worked 40 hours last week he had $74 deducted from his earnings for taxes . If he had $286 left after the deduction, how much does Rolex earn per hour?
Let's find out what Rolex made BEFORE the reduction.
$286 + $74 = $360
To find out what he makes each hour, we divide $360 by 40 hours.
Rolex's Earning Per Hour = $360/40 hours
Rolex's Earning Per Hour = $9 per hour
He needs a better job!

Let his hourly salary be "x".
EQUATION: 40x - 74 =286
40x = 360
