Question 229027
Bonnie & Tim do some yardwork for their neighbor. The ratio comparing the amount of time each one works is 7:4. The neighbor pays them $88. 
If Bonnie worked more, ow much should each of the recieve.
------------------------------------------
7:4 is the same as 7x:4x where 7x is Bonnie's share.
Equation
7x + 4x = 88
11x = 88
x = 8
-------------
7x = $56 (amount Bonnie should receive)
-----
4x = $32 (amount Tim should receive)
========================================
