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 ?
