Question

Jim earns money doing yard work each week. During three weeks he earned a total of $168. If each week, his earnings doubled, how much did he make each week

Answer 1

Answer:

He made $112 each week

Explanations:

The total amount earned in three weeks before his weekly earning was doubled = $168

The amount earned each week before his weekly earning was doubles = $168/3

The amount earned each week before his weekly earning was doubled = $56

If his weekly earning was doubled:

The amount earned each week = 2 x $56

The amount earned each week = $112
