Ben earns $9 per hour and $6 for each delivery he makes. he wants to earn more than $155 in an 8-hour workday. what is the least number of deliveries he must make to reach his goal? how work

First find out how much he makes in 8 hours (9x8=72). Then subtract 72 from 155 (155-72=83). Then divide 83 by 6 (83/6=13.8333). Since 83 is not evenly divisible by 6, and since he can't deliver .8333 of a delivery, we would round up, giving us 14). Ben would need to make 14 deliveries in 8 hours to make more than $155 :) Hope this helps you :)
