well im asking how you figured that

anonymous · Answer

if its $4 an hour for ice cream selling, and $6 an hour raking leaves, i can work 10 hours per work and make $52
but how did you solve it to be 4 hours?

anonymous · Answer

you can only work 10 hours a week. and 10hrs=$52
so $6h+$4h=52.
then guess and check. Wasn't sure how to do this any other way
