A painter earns $15 per hour. What is the minimum number of hours he must work to earn at least $200?

Answer 1

To find the minimum number of hours the painter must work to earn at least $200, we need to divide the total earnings by the hourly rate.

$200 / $15 per hour = 13.333 hours

Since you cannot work part of an hour, the minimum number of hours the painter must work is 14 hours to earn at least $200.
