Okay i just started school and my brain is NOT WORKING Lol...
Garry earns $42 500 per year while his friend Harry earns $18.50 per hour. Calculate the number of hours that Henry will need to work each week to earn more money than Garry does.
How do I figure out the answer? Like, can you explain it to me with the working out ?

Assume Henry has to work H hours per week.
Weekly wage = 18.5H
Annual wage = 52 x 18.5H = 962H
962H > 42500
H > 42500/962
H > 44.2hours
0.2 hours = 12 minutes
Will have to work more than 44 hours 12 minutes

Change it so that they're both being measured in hours. To do this, divide Garry's salary by 365 to turn it into days, then divide by 24 to turn into hours. Then compare to Henry's salary, which is already in hours.
