Which equation can be used to find the answer? Scott works a total of 14.5 hours after school from Monday to Friday. After the weekend, he has worked a total of 27.75 hours for the entire week. How many hours does Scott work on the weekend?

Aw = 14.5+27.75 w = 42.25 42.25 hours
Bw = 14.5+27.75 w = 41.25 41.25 hours
Cw+14.5 = 27.75 w = 13.25 13.25 hours
Dw – 14.5 = 27.75 w = 13.75 13.75 hours

Verified Answer :

The correct answer is C) w+ 14.5 = 27.75                        w=13.25 hours

This is correct because in order to find the number of hours Scott worked on the weekend, you need to  subtract the amount of hours Scott worked within the week (14.5) from the total amount that he worked (27.75), and the only equation in which you do this is Letter C.
