Jeff, Todd, and Lee were hired by their father to work on the yard, and each was paid at the same hourly rate. Jeff worked 4 hours, Todd worked 6 hours, and Lee worked 8 hours. If the 3 boys together earned $27, how much did Lee earn?

quick please


Sagot :

Answer: 12

Because the hourly rate is the same, add their combined hours together and divide 27 by that numebr to find the hourly pay.

4 + 6 + 8 = 18

27 / 18 = 1.5

Now that you know the hourly rate ( $1.5 ) Multiply that by the number of hours Lee worked.

8(1.5) = 12

Lee earned 12 dollars
