Mario is the manager at a local store. He has budgeted $1600 for the wages of the cahiers for the week. If each cashier make $8.75 an hour, how many total hours can the cashiers work that week?

182 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, the total would be $1600 which is the maximum amount that can be wasted. The only variable in this scenario is the number of hours that the cashier can work. Therefore we can use the following formula to calculate the maximum number of hours the cashier can actually work (h) before going over the total limit.

8.75h = 1600 ... divide each side by 8.75

h = 182.85

Therefore, we see that the total amount of hours equals 182.85 but since we are counting hours then the answer would be 182 hours because if the cashiers work 183 hours there won't be enough money budgeted to pay them.
