Bob wants to buy a TV that cost $500 plus 8% tax. He is getting a bonus of $45 and a birthday gift of $85 which he plans to use to help but the TV. He also has to pay 2 bills for $35 each. If Bob makes $12 an hour how many whole hours will he need to work to make enough money to buy the TV and pay his bills?

He needs to work for 40 whole hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the amount a Tv will cost Bob in terms of the number of hours he needs to work.

Let’s look at the total cost he has to pay.

a. $500

b. 8% tax = 8/100 * 500 = $40

c. He is paying 2 bills of $35 each making a total of 2 * $35 = $70

The total amount he is to pay is thus; 500 + 40 + 70 = $610

Let’s look at his income ;

a. Bonus $45

b. Birthday gift $85

The total amount of money he has asides his salary to offset the bill is 45 + 85 = $130

The balance to pay from his salary would be $610 - $130 = $480

The number of hours he has to work since he earns $12 per hour would be 480/12 = 40 hours of work

40 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of TV = $540

(8/100) x 500

Breaking down further,

(2/25) x 500= 1000/25= $40

Therefore, the cost of the TV is $500 + $40= $540

Bonus= $45

Birthday gift= $85

Total income = $130

Bills= $35 x 2 = $70

Total expenses= $70

Net income= $130 - $70 = $60

Remember, TV costs $540

So, $540 - $60 = $480.

If Bill makes $12 an hour, how many hours will he have to work to pay for $480?

= $480/$12= 40 hours.

the answer is vanilla
