Greg and Josh want to go whitewater rafting in 3 weeks. Josh is able to save the $480 he needs to go on the trip by saving the pay he received for 5 hours of work each week. Greg must save 8 hours worth of pay each week in order to have enough money. How much more money does Josh make than Greg?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Josh makes $36 more per hour than Greg.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to determine the amount Josh earns per hour as you know that it takes him 5 hours of work to save $480:

5x=480

Now, you can solve for x:

x=480/5

x=96

Then, you need to determine the amount Greg earns per hour as you know that it takes him 8 hours of work to save $480:

8y=480

Now, you can solve for y:

y=480/8

y=60

96-60=36

According to this, the answer is that Josh makes $36 more per hour than Greg.

Answer:
