Question

A string quartet finds that when they play for donations they earn between $25 and $40 per hour. If they play for 3 hours and divide the money equally between the four members of the quartet, how much can each member expect to make?

a.less than $18
b.more than $42
c.$30 to $42
d.$18 to $30

Answer 1

Option d.$18 to $30

Explanation:

we know that

The quartet earn between $25 and $40 per hour.

so

If they play for 3 hours

then

($25*3)=$75

($40*3)=$120

the quartet will earn between $75 and $120

Divide the money equally between the four members

$75/4=$18.75

$120/4=$30

therefore

Each member can make between $18.75 and $30
