Let x be the number of hours the master electrician works and y the numbers of hours his apprentice works.

The master electrician earns $62 per hour, which means that he earns 62x.
His apprentice earns $40 per hour, which means that he earns 40y.

Together they are paid $492, so we can get the equation:
62x + 40y = 492.

We know that the electrician worked 3 hours more than his apprentice. So he worked x = y + 3 hours. Now let's replace x by its new value in the previous equation.

62x + 40y = 492
62(y+3) + 40y = 492
62y + 186 + 40y = 492

Now we need to put variables apart and numbers apart, so we subtract 186 from both sides of the equation:
62y + 40y + 186 - 186 = 492 - 186
102y = 306

Now we divide both sides by 102
(102y)/102 = 306/102
y = 3

So the apprentice worked 3 hours.
As we already mentioned, the electrician worked 3 hours more than his apprentice.
So he worked x = y + 3 = 3+3 = 6 hours.

The master electrician earns $62 per hour. Since he worked 6 hours, he earns 62 * 6 = 372 dollars.

So the master electrician earns $372 (Option D)

Hope this helps! :)

The frequency of an AM radio is 1.4 x 106 hertz (cycles per second). Approximately, how many cycles are completed in a minute?
Vadim26 [7]
<span>There are 8,904 cycles per minute. This would be determining the amount of cycles per second, which is 148.4. After you know the amount per second, you can then multiply it by the time, which in this case is 60 seconds, or 1 minute. 148.4 cycles per second multiplied by 60 seconds is 8,904 cycles.</span>
