Question

Your friend works as a waitress at a local restaurant. Her
income consists of an hourly wage plus tips. On Wednesday, your
friend earned $25 in tips over a 5 hour period. On Friday, your friend
earned $30.76 in tips over a 3 hour period. How much is your friend’s
hourly wage if your friend earned the same amount of money on
Wednesday as on Friday?

Answer 1

let x=hourly wage

$25+5x=$30.76+3x

5x-3x=$30.76-$25

2x=$5.76

x=$5.76/2

x=$2.88 is the hourly wage
