    Find how much he will earn

    we know he will earn 8 hours sofirst find how many he earns

    9 per hour

    8 hou

    9*8=72

    72+6*numberofdeliveries=155

    minus 72

    6*numberofdeliviers=83

    divide by 6

    number of delevieries=13.8

    he can't make 13.8, round up to get 14

    answer is 14 deliveries

    To first get rid of the $9 per hour do 8 x 9 (=72). Then do 155 - 72 (=83) to show how much more money needs to be made, then 83/the amount of money for each delivery - which is 6. Then the answer is rounded up from 13.83333 to 14 and the answer is 14.
