Question

Bethany gets a sign-on bonus of $50 and earns $100 per day. Jacob gets a sign-on bonus of $65

and earns $95 each day. After how many days will Bethany and Jacob have earned the same amount
of money? How much money will they have earned at that point?

Answer 1

Explanation:

b=50+100d and j=65+95d they are equal when

50+100d=65+95d subtract 95d from both sides

50+5d=65 subtract 50 from both sides

5d=15 divide both sides by 5

d=3 So after three dsys they will have earned the same amount, using either original equation

50+100(3)=$350 is what they have earned after three days.
