Question

The local skating rink pays Mary a fixed rate per pupil plus a base amount to work as a skating instructor. She earns $90 for instructing 15 students on Monday afternoon. Last Friday, she earned $62 for working with 8 students. Lisa is also a skating instructor. She receives half the base amount that Mary does, but she is paid twice as much per student. Who would earn more money instructing a class of 20 students?

answer choice
1. 120
2. 65
3. 15
4. 10

Answer 1

ok so lets divide 90 by 15 to get 6 so she gets paid 6 per student and that means lisa gets paid 12 so lets just multiply

6*20=120 so mary gets paid 120

and lisa gets paid doable that so 420

but i don't know there base pay so the i can't answer this problem

Hope This Helps!!!
