b) Shelton wants to save $1,675 for a new laptop. If Shelton saves 25% of his take-home pay, how many hours will he need to work to meet his savings goal?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a)  Shelton’s total pay before deduction: 10.25x

b)  To meet savings goal he'll have to work 827.415869 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take-home pay:

  10.25x − 0.21(10.25x)

  10.25x − 2.1525x

  8.0975x

Save 25% for new laptop:

  .25(8.0975x) = 1675

     2.024375x = 1675

     x = 827.415869 hours
