Ivan has a summer babysitting job that pays $15 per hour. He wants to know how many hours he has to babysit to afford a new bike. The bike he wants costs $300.
Use an equation to find how many hours Ivan has to babysit.


Sagot :

Answer: 20 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: 15x = 300

Isolate the variable.

Divide both sides by 15:   ¹⁵ˣ⁄₁₅ = ³⁰⁰⁄₁₅

x = 20

Ivan needs to work 20 hours in order to afford the bicycle.
