Asked by bobbyjones1234
Sue and Ann earned the same amount of money this month, although one worked six days more than the other. If Sue earned $36 per day and Ann earned $60 per day, how many days did each work?

Since Ann makes a higher wage, I'd say Sue worked more days.
36x = 60(x-6)
36x = 60x - 360
24x = 360
x = 15
Sue worked 15 days, Ann worked 9 days.
check:
15*36 = 540
9*60 = 540
36x = 60(x-6)
36x = 60x - 360
24x = 360
x = 15
Sue worked 15 days, Ann worked 9 days.
check:
15*36 = 540
9*60 = 540
