Monica makes $550 and Phil makes $275 per week
Step-by-step explanation:
Monica and Phil each have part-time jobs
- Monica makes twice as much money in a week as Phil
- The total of their weekly earnings is $825
We need to find how much each person makes
Assume that Phil makes $x in a week
∵ Phil makes $x per week
∵ Monica makes twice as much money in a week as Phil
∴ Monica makes = $2x per week
∵ The total of their weekly earnings is 825
- Add their weekly earnings
∴ x + 2x = 825
- Add the like terms
∴ 3x = 825
- Divide both sides by 3
∴ x = 275
- Find 2x
∴ 2x = 2(275) = 550
Monica makes $550 and Phil makes $275 per week
