Solution

  1. First, we need to find out how much Moussa earns per hour. We do this by dividing his total earnings for the week by the number of hours he worked. So, 273.00÷13hours=273.00 ÷ 13 hours = 21.00 per hour.

  2. Next, we need to find out how many hours Moussa would need to work to earn 378.00.Wedothisbydividingthetotalamounthewantstoearnbyhishourlywage.So,378.00. We do this by dividing the total amount he wants to earn by his hourly wage. So, 378.00 ÷ $21.00 per hour = 18 hours.
