Calculate Hours from $60 Hourly Rate and $960 Monthly Payment

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Understand the problem setup and identify given values.
• Step 2: Use division to calculate the number of hours of tuition based on the payment from Monica's father.
• Step 3: Interpret the result to select the correct answer choice if required.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1:
Monica pays $60 per hour for her private maths lessons, and her father pays the teacher$960 each month.

Step 2:
To find out how many hours Monica gets, divide the total payment her father makes per month by the price per hour:

$\text{Number of hours} = \frac{960}{60}$

Step 3:
Perform the division:

$\text{Number of hours} = \frac{960}{60} = 16$

Therefore, Monica receives 16 hours of tuition each month.

The correct answer is $16$.
