as a waiter at a restaurant, joe earns $2.25 an hour plus tips. if he made $55 in tips and his total earning did not exceed $70, how many hours could he have worked

7, 6.66, 6 2/3 (see explanation)

Explanation:

$55 in tips would mean that they can work x hours. To figure this out easiest in my head at least I divided 15 by 2.25. This equals out to 6.66 repeating.

Now you cannot work 2/3 of an hr in most jobs which is why I would say most likely you would round this up, but depending on teachers and schools sometimes they prefer to round and sometimes they don't. 6.66 aka 6 2/3 is your answer and it'd be your call to round it or not but I'd prob say to. Hope this longer response helps!

if you need , reply with more info. u.
