Question

Andrew, Brenda and Cammi all work part-time at a supermarket. Cammi earns $20 more than Andrew

and Brenda earns $30 less than twice Andrew's wage. If their total combined wage is $400, find how
much each of these workers earns.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let Andrew wage be = X

Cammi earns $20 more than Andrew So Cammi earns = 20 + X

Brenda earns $30 less than twice Andrew's wage

So she earns = 2X - 30

Their total combanied wage is $400

So Andrew + Cammi + Brenda = $400

X + 20+X + 2X-30 =400

4X - 10 =400

4X=400+10

4X=410

X= $102.5

So Andrew earns $102.5

Cammi earns $122.5

Brenda earns $175
