Step-by-step explanation:

She earns $8/hour

And she works weekend only

He is saving his earning to go for ski and it cost $190

For him to save $190, let know the hours he is going to work

He earns $8/hour and need $190,

Then he is going to work for

190/8=23.75hours

At least, he needs to work for 24hours and since the 24hours is in a day then, Becca his wrong, he doesn't need extra to work extra 6hours.

We are not told if he need to buy something or do something else we are only told he needs $190 for the trip
