Dante earns $20 each hour he works. Last week, $160 was taken out
of his earnings for taxes. After taxes were taken out, he received $640.
Write an equation that can be used to find h, the number of hours
Dante worked last week.

Find the total amount paid before taxes were taken out by adding the two amounts together:

h = 640 + 160 / 20

640 + 160 = 800

h = 800/ 20

Now divide the total amount by the hourly rate:

h = 40

First, lets find how much Dante earned before taxes were taken out.

640 + 160 = $800 total earned that week.

Second, divide by 20 to find how many hours he worked.

800 / 20 = 40 hours he worked that week.

Write an expression to resemble the question. Remember that "h" is the amount of hours he world that week.

h = (640 + 160) / 2

Best of Luck!
