Question 1113829
V = value of goods (stated as being same for each woman)
Clara's wage = 40(20) + 0.05V
Rose's wage = 40(16) + 0.10V
<pr>
Since their wages are stated as being equal:
40(20) + 0.05V = 40(16) + 0.10V
<pr>
800 + 0.05V = 640 + 0.10V
<pr>
160 = 0.05V
<pr>
V = 3200
<pr>
Clara's wage = 40(20) + 0.05V = 800 + 160 = 960
Rose's wage = 40(16) + 0.10V = 640 + 320 = 960
<pr>
They each sold $3200 worth of goods and each earned $960.
