MICHAEL K say: $2,000.00 / $45.00 = 44.4444 days.
-
RR say: $2,000 / 9 = 222.2 hours

222.2 / 5 = 44.4 days

TomV say: The number of hours per day is immaterial unless you want to know how many days are required. You asked how many hours. Divide the number of dollars by the dollars per hour to get the number of hours:

2000/9 = 222.2 hours

That does not take into account any deductions for taxes, contributory medical and retirement, union dues, etc.
If you want to know the number of days (not what you asked!) divide the number of work hours by the number of work hours per day. 222.2/5 = 44.4 days

Rick B say: You do not know how to do simple division???????

222.2 hours

44.4 days (at 5 hours per day)

llaffer say: Let h = hours worked

At $9 per hour, we can use this to solve for the number of hours needed to make $2,000:

9h = 2000
h = 2000/9 hours

If we want the answer in days, we can use the given conversion factor of 5 hours worked in a day to get:

2000/9 hours (1/5 day/hour) = 2000/45 days

Rounded up to the whole day, you have to work: 45 days to make $2,000 at $9 per hour (presuming no taxes are withheld)
