14 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

$80 transportation costs + $220 food costs + $720 hotel costs ($90 x 8 nights) = $1020 total cost

$1020 - $684 in savings = $336.00 still needed for trip

$336.00 divided by $24.00/hr for tutoring = 14

William will need to tutor 14 hours to earn the rest of the money for his trip.

Happy Monday!
