<PRE><B>Question 230833</B>
a plumber and his apprentice work for 8 hours. The plumber makes $4.50 more than the apprentice per hour. How much do they each make
-----------------------
Let plumber make x + 4.5 per hour
Then aprentice makes x per hr
--------------
In 8 hrs the plumber makes 8x + 8*4.5 = (8x+36) dollars
In 8 hrs the apprentice makes 8x dollars
