Question

Gerry makes $10.62 an hour. He grossed $127.40 last week. How many hours did he work?

Answer 1

Wouldn't you just divide 127.40 by 10.62 ???
surely you have a calculator.

Perhaps the result of 11.996 hours confused you.
He obviously worked 12 hours, and at a rate of $10.62 , his
earnings should have been $127.44

I suspect a typo.

Answer 2

Divide.
127.4/10.62=

Answer 3

11.9962335217
