Answer:
The equation to determine the number of hours we worked is [tex]3h+45=60[/tex].
The waiter has worked for 5 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total Money made = $60
Hourly rate = $3
Money made in tips = $45
We need to find the number of hours he worked.
Solution:
Let the number of hours he worked be 'h'.
Now we can say that;
Total Money he made is equal to sum of Money made in tips and Hourly rate multiplied by number of hours he worked.
framing in equation form we get;
[tex]3h+45=60[/tex]
Hence the equation to determine the number of hours we worked is [tex]3h+45=60[/tex].
On Solving equation we get;
First we will subtract both side by 45 we get;
[tex]3h+45-45=60-45\\\\3h=15[/tex]
Dividing both side by 3 we get;
[tex]\frac{3h}{3}=\frac{15}{3}\\\\h=5\ hrs.[/tex]
Hence the waiter has worked for 5 hours.
