Question

Sandy works part time in a shoe shop.

On weekends, she earns 1.5 times as much per hour as she earns on weekdays.

One week, she works 2 hours on a weekday and 2 hours on the weekend.

Her pay for the week was $80.

How much does she earn in 1 hour on a weekday?

Worked Solution

Let  x\large x = pay per hour on a weekday
2x\large x + (2 × 1.5x\times\ 1.5\large x) = 80
2x\large x + 3x\large x = 80
5x\large x = 80
∴x\therefore\large x = 805\dfrac{80}{5}
= $16.00
