Solve the system of equations from this problem from the Action section above.
A camp counselor takes home a fixed weekly salary for her summer job of $500.
On top of that the camp counselor earns $80 per day.
A photographer has a fixed weekly salary of $340 but earns $120 per day.
How many days per week do they have to work to earn the same amount?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I find this problem quite nonsensical, since both the camp cancelor and the photographer
should work entire week to get their fixed week salary.


            In this problem one week is indivisible quantum of time.


The problem's composer deserves a ticket for making absolutely unsatisfactory job.
