dave and anita each earned the same amount of money selling newspapers but each worked different number of days. dave worked for 8 days.he earned 15$ less per day then anita did. anita worked for 4 days. how much did each earn altogether? how much money did each earn per day?
how do i solve these questions?
Anita must have earned twice the daily wage since she earned the same amount as Dave in half the time. That means Anita earned $30/day and Dave earned $15/day. (Making the daily earnings difference $15, as required)
Each person earned $120. (15x8 or 30x4)
