Eve and Maria have summer jobs selling newspaper subscriptions door-to-door, but their compensation plans are different. Eve earns a base wage of $14 per hour, as well as $1 for every subscription that she sells. Maria gets $2 per subscription sold, in addition to a base wage of $3 per hour. If they each sell a certain number of subscriptions in an hour, they will end up earning the same amount. How much would each one earn? How many subscriptions would that be?
