Answer:

I believe that Tony will have to work 16 or 17 hours to have enough money to buy the TV

Step-by-step explanation:

$276.99 - 135 = $141.99

$8.50 x 8 = $68

$8.50 x 16 = $136

$8.50 x 17 = $144.50

$8.50 x 33 = $280.50

$136 < $141.99 $144.50 > $141.99

$8.50 x 16 or $8.50 x 17

Check to see if the numbers are correct.

If they are you will have to make a choice.

I hope this helped. ☺
