Question

Leo works at the Bagel Shop after school and on Saturdays. He is paid $4 per hour after school and $5 per hour on Saturday. Last week Leo worked a total of 12 hours and made a total of $52.50. How many hours did he work after school?

Answer 1

1) x+Y=12
2) 4x+5Y=52.50
solve the two equations simultaneously you get:
x= 7.5 and Y=4.5
where 'x' is hours worked after school and 'y' is hours worked on saturday
