D = dollars/day for Dave.
A = dollars/day for Anita.
Dave made, in 8 days, 8D.
Anita made,in 4 days, 4D
They made the same amount of money; therefore, 8D = 4A.
But we also know that Dave made $15 less per day; therefore, A-15 is D.
From the above 8D = 4A
Substitute A-15 for D.
8(A-15)=4A.
Solve for A.
Check my thinking. Check my work. If I didn't make an error, Anita made $30/day and Dave made $15/day. You can answer the last part of how much they made together.
dave and anita each earned the same amount of money selling newspapers but each worked different number of days. dave worked for 8 days.he earned 15$ 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?
