Question 1169072
if he continues to work 22 hours a week over the next 20 weeks, he will earn:


20 weeks * 22 hours a week * 12 dollars an hour = 5280 dollars.


if he cuts back and only works 10 hours a week, he will earn:


20 weeks * 10 hours a week * 12 dollars an hour = 2400 dollars.


he loses 5280 - 2400 = 2880 dollars by working out instead of working.


the scholarship would have to be equal to 2880 to pay him back for the hours that he didn't get paid.


that's the break even point.


anything more than that, his workouts made him money.


anything less than that, his workouts cost him money.
