Xa worked 2 hours and 15 minutes. Yo worked 1 hour and 40 minutes, and Zu worked
2 hours and 30 minutes. Combined, they were paid $77. If each of them is paid the
same hourly wage, how many dollars should Xa get?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

1.  Xa worked 2 hours and 15 minutes = 135 minutes.

    Yo worked 1 hour and 40 minutes = 100 minutes.

    Zu worked 2 hours and 30 minutes = 150 minutes.


2.  The total time (the sum) = 135 + 100 + 150 minutes = 385 minutes.


3.  1 minute costs  = 20 cents.

From this point, can you calculate how many dollars should Xa get ?
