Question

Last Saturday 16 people worked at the theater. 4 people worked the morning shift and 12 people worked the evening shift. They earned a total of $1,032.00. If each worker earned the same amount, how much did one worker earn?

Answer 1

So,

The total number of workers is 16, and they earned $1032.

Divide the total amount they earned by the number of workers.

1032/16

Simplify with prime factorization
P.F.F. of 1032: 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 43
P.F.F. of 16: 2 * 2 * 2 * 2
Similarities: 2 * 2 * 2 or 8
G.C.F. = 8

Simplify
129/2
Mixed: 64 1/2
Decimal: 64.5

Each worker earned $64.50.
