How many dollars did she make?How many more hours must Brittany and timothy work in order to have an equal amount of pay?If they combine their saving how many dollars they will have ?

Answer 1

(a)$560

(b)$216

(c)86 hours

(d)$3528

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)Number of hours worked by Brittany = 40 hours

Brittany's hourly pay = $14

Total amount (in dollars) made = 40 x 14

=$560

(b)Number of hours worked by Timothy = 12 hours

Timothy's hourly pay = $18

Total amount (in dollars) made = 12 x 18

=$216

(c)

Let the number of more hours worked = h

We therefore have that:

`560+14h=216+18h`

We solve for h.

`\begin{gathered} 560-216=18h-14h \\ 4h=344 \\ h=(344)/(4) \\ h=86 \end{gathered}`

If they work for 86 more hours, they will have an equal amount of pay.

(d)If they combine their savings, they will have:

`\begin{gathered} 2(560+14h) \\ =2(560+14*86) \\ =2(560+1204) \\ =2*1764 \\ =\$3,528 \end{gathered}`

They will have $3528.
