    (225/ 6.25) X x = 918 

    36.00 X x = 918 

    x = 918/36 

    x = 25.5 hours.

    Heya,

    If Samantha earns $225.00 for 6.25 hours of work her hourly rate is 225.00/6.25 $ per hour

    let x = the number of hours she has to work to earn $918.00

    x * the rate per hour = 918

    x(225.00/6.25) = 918

    by solving we find

    My process for solving this would be first to find the hourly rate.

    225 / 6.25 ; multiply top and bottom by 4

    900 / 25 ; multiply top and bottom by 4

    36 / 100 = $3.60 / hour

    3.60 looks like it has a factor of 9, so it's an easy division to do 900 / 3.60 = 100 / 0.4 = 250

    250 hours accounts for $900, leaving $18 left over.  18/3.60 = 5, so 5 more hours of work

    250 + 5 = 255

    Of course, with a calculator or computer handy, someone can just type "918 / (225 / 6.25) ="

    225/6.25 = 918/x

    225x = 918(6.25)

    225x = 5737.5

    x = 25.5

    She earns 225.00/6.25 = $36 pr hour and so 918/36 = 25.5 hours

    Answer is 25.5

      Samantha earns $225.00 for 6.25 hours of work.

    That means :

    Earning in 6.25 hours = 225

    Earning in 1 hour = 225 / 6.25

    = 36

    Thus Samantha earns $ 36 for 1 hour of work.

    We have to find how many hours must he work to earn $ 918.00.

    Let us assume that , To earn $ 918 .00 , He has to work x hours.

    So, x * 36 = 918

    x = 918 / 36

    = 25.5

    Hence Samantha must to work 25.5 hours to earn $ 918.00.
