you can earn $6 an hour raking leaves and $4 an hour selling ice cream. what is the most time you can spend selling ice cream if you can work only 10 hours per week and you want to make $52 a week?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4hrs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean y? you can only work 4 hours selling ice cream if you want to make $52 a week.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what don't you understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well im asking how you figured that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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
