teresa and Ishamel worked the same number of days and earned equal amounts of money. Teesa earned a rate of $60 per day. Ishamael earned a rate of $40 per day and received a bonus of $140. How many days did each of them work?
Let's start by assuming both Teresa and Ishmael worked for "x" number of days.
Teresa earned a rate of $60 per day, so her total earnings can be represented as:
60x
Ishmael earned a rate of $40 per day and received a bonus of $140. So, his total earnings can be represented as:
40x + 140
Since Teresa and Ishmael earned equal amounts of money, we can set their earnings equations equal to each other:
60x = 40x + 140
Simplifying this equation, we can subtract 40x from both sides:
20x = 140
Dividing both sides by 20:
x = 7
So, both Teresa and Ishmael worked for 7 days.
Teresa's total earnings: 60 x 7 = $420
Ishmael's total earnings: 40 x 7 + 140 = $420
Therefore, Teresa worked for 7 days and earned $420, while Ishmael also worked for 7 days and earned $420.
