Christiana makes $14 per hour working at the roller-skating rink. She needs to make $130 to pay her car insurance. How many hours should she work if she receives an $18 tip for hosting a birthday party that day?(1 point)

Question

She should work
hours to make $130.

Answer 1

To determine how many hours Christiana needs to work to make $130 for her car insurance, we first need to account for the $18 tip she will receive.

1. Calculate the amount she needs to earn after including the tip: \[ 130 - 18 = 112 \] So she needs to earn $112 from her hourly wage.

2. Next, calculate how many hours she needs to work at her hourly rate of $14 to earn $112: \[ \text{Hours} = \frac{112}{14} = 8 \]

Therefore, Christiana should work 8 hours to make $130 after her tip.
