Courtney would like to buy a new phone for $680. So far, she has saved $240. If she earns $8 an hour babysitting, how many hours will she need to work to be able to buy the phone?

she will need to work for 55 hours to buy the phone

Step-by-step explanation:

680 - 240 = 440

that's how much more she needs

449 ÷ 8 = 55

and that's the answer

55

hope that helped

55 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Well first we need to set up the equation

We know she needs 680$ to buy the phone so the equation must be equal to 240

She has 240 and earns 8 dollars per hr so were finding out how many hours of work is needed to be able to buy the phone

Represent the number of hours worked by "x"

Set the equation up as

240 + 8x = 680

Add -240 to both sides of the equation to make 240 be 0 and 680 be 440

8x = 440

divide both sides of equation by 8 to get what x equals

x=55

She needs to work 55 hours
