You can put this solution on YOUR website! Felix is a plumber, and his coworker peter is an electrician.
Felix charges customers a fee of $46 dollars just to come to their houses and then $3 per minute that he is there.
Peter also charges a fee of $114 for a home visit, plus an additional $1 per minute.
Last week the coworkers went to a job site together, spent the same amount of time working, and earned the same amount.
How much time did each one spend working?
:
let t = time both were on the job site
Felix's pay = Pete's pay
3t + 46 = 1t + 114
3t - 1t = 114 - 46
2t = 68
t = 68/2
t = 34 hrs
:
How much dud each one earn?
3(34) + 46 = $148, for Felix
and
1(34) + 114 = $148, for Pete
