Question 320871: George saves 18% of his total gross weekly earnings from his 2 part-time jobs. He earns $6.25 per hour from one part-time job and $7.50 per hour from the other part-time job. George works a total of 40 hours between the two jobs each week. What additional information is needed to determine the amount of his earnings he saves each week? I think it the number of hours he works at each job... Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let him work x hours at job A $6.25 /hour
y hours at job B $7.5 /hour
..
Total hours
x+y=40
Total earnings per week
6.25x+7.5y = GE
..
So you need to know how many hours at each job
..
you are right
