In order to at least earn $90, Katie can work exercising horses for 6 hours and cleaning stalls for 6 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let hours of exercising horses be x --> $5 per hour = 5x
Let hours of cleaning stalls be y --> $10 per hour = 10y
Total earning =
Total hours = 12
<u>Equation 1:</u>
5x + 10y =
<u>Equation 2:</u>
x + y
<em>1. Multiply equation 2 by -5</em>
x + y (*-5)
5x + 10y =
-5x - 5y
5x + 10y =
<em>2. Solve</em>
-5x + 5x -5y + 10y = -60 + 90
5y = 30
y = 6
x + y = 12
x + 6 = 12
x = 6
Therefore, in order to at least earn $90, Katie can work exercising horses for 6 hours and cleaning stalls for 6 hours.
