Question

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

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

Explanation:

Step1: Set up the equation

Let \( h = \text{hours worked} \). Total earnings = rate × hours: \( 25h = 200 \)

Step2: Solve for \( h \)

Divide both sides by 25: \( h = \frac{200}{25} = 8 \)

Answer:

a. 8 hours
