sean earns #4.50 more per hour than his trainee, tyrone.
during one 8 hour day, they earn a total of $284. how much does tyrone
make per hour?
----
Let sean's hourly pay be "x+4.50".
Then tyrone's hourly rate is "x".
---------------------------
Equation:
8(x + x+4.5) = 8(2x+4.5) = 16x+36 = 284
---
16x = 248
x = $15.50 (tyrone's hourly rate)
