You earn $15 an hour tutoring and $9 an hour working at the Sippy Drink. You can tutor a maximum of 10 hours a week. You have to put in at least 20 hours a week at the Sippy Drink to keep your job there. You can't work more than 40 hours a week. how many hours should you work at each job to earn the maximum amount of money a week?

Answer:

5hours

Explanation:

1 week =7 days

10 hr +20hr = 30 hrs

If you work 4hrs a wee k you will achieve only 28hrs of work so you will have to work for 5hrs to achieve 35hrs of work which is still within the bracket of 40hrs of work

In each job you will work for 2hours 30

minute

Each day you will earn $60.00

At tutoring you get $37.50

At sippy drink you will get $22.50

In a week you will get a maximum of $420.00
