1 answer

The pattern for calculating the amount that Kim and Kate each earn is:

Kim: $50 + ($75 x days worked)
Kate: $35 + ($75 x days worked)

After 4 days:
Kim: $50 + ($75 x 4) = $50 + $300 = $350
Kate: $35 + ($75 x 4) = $35 + $300 = $335

After 4 days, Kim will have earned $350 and Kate will have earned $335.
