A caterer charges $350 for the food for an event. They also charge $15 per hour for the catering service they provide. How many hours did the caterer work if they were paid $425 hours? ______ hours

Respuesta :

Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

425 = 15x + 350   x = the number of hours worked subtract 350 from both sides of the equation

75 = 15x  Divide both sides of the equation by 15

5 = x
