Ryan works at a donut shop where he makes $10.25 per hour. He works on at the school bookstore where he makes $8.75 per hour to worked 20 hours last week and made $196, how many hours did he work at each place?


Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

x = hours donuts

y = hours books

x + y = 20

10.25x + 8.75y = 196

from the first equation we get

x = 20 - y

that we use now in the second

10.25×(20 - y) + 8.75y = 196

205 - 10.25y + 8.75y = 196

-1.5y = -9

1.5y = 9

y = 9/1.5 = 6

x = 20 - y = 20 - 6 = 14

he worked 14 hours in the donut shop and 6 hours in the bookstore.
