12 One weekend Jace and Valentine shoveled snow to earn spending money. Together they earned $12.50 an hour for 10 hours of work. Each received half of the total earnings. If Jace then spent so on a new CD, what was the total amount he had left, in dollars and cents, from the money he earned shoveling snow that weekend?

Sagot :

We know that

• Together they earned $12.50 an hour for 10 hours of work.

We just have to multiply to find the total earnings.

[tex]12.50\cdot10=125[/tex]

They earned $125 together. Each of them earned $62.50 since they received half of the earnings each.

If he bought a CD, then we can express

[tex]62.50-(CD)[/tex]

Therefore, the remaining money would be expressed as 62.50 - (CD).
