Tom has a goal of saving enough money to buy a new set of rims for his car. Tom makes $7.50 an hour take home pay at his job working 15 hours per week. If the rims that Tom wants cost $900, how long will it take Tom to achieve his goal?
Answer: It will take 8 weeks to Tom to achieve his goal.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The earning of Tom in an hour = $7.5
if Tom worked 15 hours in a week, then the amount earned by him in one week =@@MATH_TOKEN_0@@
The required amount to achieve his goal = $900
The number of week he need to work to achieve his target = \(\frac{900}{112.5}=8\)
Hence, It will take 8 weeks to Tom to achieve his goal.
