You can put this solution on YOUR website! Maude and Marliyn each earned 26.40 per day from their summer jobs. Maude was assigned more respnsibility and then earned 29.60 per day
If they each worked 65 days and together earned 3528.00 how long did maude work at the higher rate?
---
Maude earned 26.40 for each of 65 days = $1716
---
Marilyn earned 26.40 on x days and 29.60 on (65-x) days.
----
Equation:
Marilyn = Marilyn
26.40x + 29.60(65-x) = 3528-1716
----
26.40x + 1924-29.6x = 1812
-3.2x = -112
---
x = 35 days at the regular rate
---
65-x = 30 days at the higher rate
