They both charge by the hour for mowing and raking leaves. One week Tommy mowed lawns for 10 hours and raked leaves for 6 hours and earned a total of $114. In the same week, Max mowed lawns for 8 hours and raked leaves for 9 hours and earned a total of $118.50. Assuming they both charge the same rates for each of their services, how much do they charge per hour for mowing? For raking leaves? </SPAN>\n" );
