Question

Chris and Pat worked the same number of days and earned equal amounts of money, Chris earned a rate of $75 per day. Pat earned a rate of $50 per day and
received a honus of $125 How many days did each of them work

Answer 1

Answer:

A, 5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set the number of days as x. Then, the amount of money each person earned is:

Chris: 75 * x

Pat: 50 * x + 125

Then, because these are equal amounts,

75x = 50x + 125

Subtract 50x from both sides.

25x = 125

Divide both sides by 25.

x = 5

So, they worked for 5 days, or option A.
