how many hours did he work at each job?

Question

John works 2 jobs.as a security guard he earns 9.50 an hour.as a landscaper 12.00 per hour.one week John worked a total of 60 hours and earned 657.50.

Answer 1

Ladois,

 

Let h be the hrs John works as security guard

He will work 60-h hrs as landscaper

 

Also,

9.5*h + 12*(60-h) = 657.5

-2.5h = 657.5-720

h = 25

 

So 25 hrs as security guard and 35 hrs as landscaper
