Maya and Kavitha each were paid m dollars in advance to do a certain job together.
\n" ); document.write( "Maya worked on a job for 20 hrs and Kavitha worked 4hrs less than Maya.
\n" ); document.write( " If Kavitha gave Maya n dollars of payment so that they would receive the same hourly wage, what was the dollar amount in terms of n that Maya was paid in advance
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"m%2F20\" = M's hourly wage
\n" ); document.write( "\"m%2F16\" = K's hourly wage
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Understand that K gives M n dollars to equalize the hourly wage, therefore
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28m%2Bn%29%2F20\" = \"%28m-n%29%2F16\"
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "20(m-n) = 16(m+n)
\n" ); document.write( "20m - 20n = 16m + 16n
\n" ); document.write( "20m - 16m = 16n + 20n
\n" ); document.write( "4m = 36n
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 4
\n" ); document.write( "m = 9n dollars paid each in advance\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
