A master electrician earns $62 per hour. His apprentice earns $40 per hour. The master electrician works 3 hours more than the apprentice. If together they are paid $492, how much does the master electrician earn?%0D%0AResponses%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0AA%09$292$292%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0AB%09$312$312%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0AC%09$332$332%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0AD%09$372
Let's denote the number of hours the apprentice works as x. Therefore, the master electrician works x + 3 hours.
The total amount they earn can be represented as:
62(x + 3) + 40(x) = 492
62x + 186 + 40x = 492
102x = 306
x = 3
Therefore, the apprentice works 3 hours and the master electrician works 6 hours.
The master electrician earns 62 * 6 = $372.
So, the correct answer is D) $372.
