Question

1. a freelancer charges $25 per hour and needs to earn $200 in a day. how many hours must they work?

a. 10 hours
b. 12 hours
c. 8 hours
d. 6 hours

Explanation:

Step1: Define variables and formula

Let $h$ = hours worked. Total earnings = hourly rate $\times$ hours, so:
$$25h = 200$$

Step2: Solve for $h$

Divide both sides by 25:
$$h = \frac{200}{25}$$

Step3: Calculate the value

$$h = 8$$

Answer:

c. 8 hours
