Aaron wants to buy 2 concert tickets that cost $25.50 each. Aaron's grandfather pays him $4.25 an hour to rake leaves. How many hours does Aaron have to rake leaves to earn the total cost of the tickets?

You are going to times 25.50 together and that's 51 so then you are going to divide 51.00 by 4.25 and that's 12

So the answer is 12

Aaron's goal, or his desired total, would be the cost of both tickets together; $51

Let h be the number of hours Aaron has to work to get $51

Our equation is 4.25h = 51

To find h, we must divide both sides of the equation by 4.25

h = 12

Aaron has to work 12 hours to make $51 at $4.25 a hour
