Question

Andrew and Allison worked together to paint a whole house, and received $287 in total. Andrew worked for 3 days and Allison for 4 days, and decided to split the money between them according to the number of days worked. How much should each receive

Answer 1

Andrew: $123; Allison: $164

Explanation:

Put the work days together to make seven and divide that to $287 to get $41 and then multiply that to 3 days for Andrew to get $123 and multiply $41 to 4 to get $164.

Answer 2

Andrew should recieve 123 dollars and Allison should get $164

Explanation:

3/7 x 287 = 123

4/7 x 287 = 164

164 + 123 = 287
