Jesse and Avery have part-time jobs. The table shows the amount of money, d, that jesse earns after w weeks at a part-time job. Avery earns $105.50 each week at a part-time job. What is the difference in the amount of money Jesse and Avery earn each week?

3 answers

To find the difference in the amount of money Jesse and Avery earn each week, we first need to know how much Jesse earns per week.

If the table you mentioned shows Jesse's earnings after a certain number of weeks, we can determine his weekly earnings by calculating the difference in his earnings after 1 week and 0 weeks, or by dividing his total earnings by the number of weeks.

However, since you haven't provided the specific values from the table, I'll assume you have Jesse's total earnings after a certain number of weeks \( w \).

If Jesse earns \( d \) dollars after \( w \) weeks, his weekly earnings can be expressed as:

\[ \text{Jesse's weekly earnings} = \frac{d}{w} \]

Avery earns $105.50 each week.

Now we calculate the difference between their weekly earnings:

\[ \text{Difference} = \text{Avery's weekly earnings} - \text{Jesse's weekly earnings} = 105.50 - \frac{d}{w} \]

To provide a specific answer, I'd need the value of \( d \) and \( w \). If Jesse's earnings can be extracted from the table, you can perform this calculation to find the difference.

weeks: 2, 4, 5, 8, 9
days: $203.00, $406.00, $507.50, $812.00 $913.50

Let's first analyze the earnings of Jesse from the table provided:

  • After 2 weeks: $203.00
  • After 4 weeks: $406.00
  • After 5 weeks: $507.50
  • After 8 weeks: $812.00
  • After 9 weeks: $913.50

To find Jesse's weekly earnings, we can calculate how much he earns per week based on the values above. A good way to do this is to determine his earnings for a specific week or calculate his average weekly earnings over the intervals.

Calculating Jesse's weekly earnings:

  1. For 2 weeks:
    \[ \text{Weekly earnings} = \frac{203.00}{2} = 101.50 \]

  2. For 4 weeks:
    \[ \text{Weekly earnings} = \frac{406.00}{4} = 101.50 \]

  3. For 5 weeks:
    \[ \text{Weekly earnings} = \frac{507.50}{5} = 101.50 \]

  4. For 8 weeks:
    \[ \text{Weekly earnings} = \frac{812.00}{8} = 101.50 \]

  5. For 9 weeks:
    \[ \text{Weekly earnings} = \frac{913.50}{9} = 101.50 \]

From the calculations above, it appears Jesse consistently earns $101.50 per week.

Now, we know that Avery earns $105.50 per week.

Calculating the difference:

Next, we can calculate the difference between what Avery earns and what Jesse earns:

\[ \text{Difference} = \text{Avery's weekly earnings} - \text{Jesse's weekly earnings} = 105.50 - 101.50 \]

\[ \text{Difference} = 4.00 \]

Thus, the difference in the amount of money Jesse and Avery earn each week is $4.00.
