Question 933468: David earns $1.50 per hour more than peter. Together they earn $940 if they both work 40 hours a week. How much money per hour do David and Peter earn? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x Peter's hourly wage. David's
40(x+1.50) + 40x = 940
80x = 880
x = $11.00, Peter's hourly wage. David's $12.50
And...checking
40($12.50) + 40($11) = $940
