Jim makes $8.50 an hour. each week 26% of his total pay is deducted for taxes how many hours does he have to work to earn at least $300 per week

Answer-

Jim has to work 48 hours to earn at least $300 per week.

Solution-

The amount Jim earns per hour = $8.50 and 26% of his pay is deducted for taxes.

Suppose he works x hours per week, so he will be earning in a week = 8.50x

Then, the amount he will pay for taxes = 26% of 8.50x = (0.26)(8.50)x

After tax deduction, the amount that he will be left with = 8.50x - (0.26)(8.50)x

And he has to work in order to get $300 per week after tax deduction,
