John can complete a paper route in 20 minutes.

John's 1 minute work = 1/20 , so rate =1/20 job/minute

Steve can complete the same route in 30 minutes

Steve's 1 minute work =1/30, so rate =1/30 job/minute

Together DATA:

Time = y min/job ; Rate = 1/y job/min

rate + rate = together rate

1/20 + 1/30 = 1/y

(30+20)/600 = 1/y

50/600

5/60 = 1/y

y = 60/5 = 12 minutes (time for this to do the job together)

Answer:

68 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

1 week costs $11.50.

so, how many such weekly each cycles fit into the price of new machines ?

if they wait to long (to many weeks) they spend in total more money than buying a new machine.

but if they stay still below that max. number of weeks, they have at least the illusion that they are cheaper of with the weekly laundromat investment (but they forget, sooner or later they will need the new machines).

so the break even point is simply

782 / 11.5 = 68 weeks.

after 68 weeks it has cost them exactly the same amount of money, as if they had bought new machines right away at the beginning.
