Judy worked 8 hours and Ben worked 10 hours. Their combined pay is 80. When Judy worked 9 hours and Ben worked 5 hours, their combined pay was 65. Find the hourly rate of pay for each person.

Answer 1

j= Judy's hourly wage

b = Ben's hourly wage

9j +5b = 65

18j+10b=130

8j+10b=80

10j=50

j=$5 per hour

b=$4 per hour

clearly minimum wage law violations

maybe a little reverse gender discrimination
