Question 667209: I know the answer to the following problem is £10 per hour but I don't know how to show the workins of the sum:
3 workers each get paid depending on how many hours they have worked. The plumber worked for 3 times as long as the painter and the painter worked 5 times as long as the electrician. The total wage bill was £630. How much was each man paid? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi,
The plumber worked for 3 times as long as the painter and the painter worked 5 times as long as the electrician's hours .
The total wage bill was £630. How much was each man paid?
Translate into an equation:
Electrician + Painter + Plumber
x + 5x + 15x = 21x =£630
