Anna, Amanda, and Sun were paid $45.00 divided equally for doing lawn work for 2 hours. Amanda left after 1 hour. The positive difference between what Amanda was paid and what Anna could have made if the money was distributed fairly according to hours worked is: (a) $3.35 (b) $3.00 (c) $3.75 (d) $3.45 (E) $3.55 Lots of points and brainliest! Please help!

Answer 1

Soo lets take anna=2a sun=2a and amanda=a
2a+2a+a=45
5a=45
a=45/5
a=9
then anna and sun=18 and amanda=9

and if we compare the diff annas dollars from attachment and the work shown above = 18-15=3

soo the answer should be three

Answer 2

The answer is:
(b)$3.00
Why?
Your going to have to add "2a" to "2a and a"
(a stands for Anna and Amanda)
when you do that you get 45!
$Next~ 5a=45$
Then we divide
45/5= 9
a=9
Since Anna and Sun worked 2 hrs they get 18
And Amanda gets 9 since she only did 1 hr.
After all that we subtract
15 and 18
and we'll get
3 (aka 3.00)
Hope this helps
