Answer 2

Amount earned by me and my friend will be $21.25 and $17.

Explanation:

Total money which me and my friend have earned is = $38.25

Work done by me = 2.5 hours

Work done by my friend = 2 hours

So the ratio of me and my friend =
`(2.5)/(2)=5:4`

Now we have to divide the amount earned in the same ratio.

Amount earned by me = 38.25 ×
`(2.5)/(2+2.5)`

= 38.25 ×
`(2.5)/(4.5)`

= 38.25 ×
`(5)/(9)`

= $21.25

Therefore, amount earned by my friend = (38.25 - 21.25) = $17

Hence, amount earned by me and my friend will be $21.25 and $17.
