Question 363401: Your friend works as a waitress at a local restaurant. Her
income consists of an hourly wage plus tips. On Wednesday, your
friend earned $25 in tips over a 5 hour period. On Friday, your friend
earned $30.76 in tips over a 3 hour period. How much is your friend’s
hourly wage if your friend earned the same amount of money on

25+5X=30.76+3X
5X-3X=30.76-25
2X=5.76
X=5.76/2
X=2.88 IS THE HOURLY WAGE
PROOF:
25+5*2.88=30.76+3*2.88
25+14.40=30.76+8.64
39.40=39.40
