Jon earns 6 dollars per hour.
We know this because, if he gets paid $20 and buys $2 worth of gasoline, his profit is $18.
Then, we divide 18 by the number of hours he worked, 3, and thus, Jon earns $6/hr.
I think the answer is 1/23
Please tell me if I'm wrong.
Hello,
Let a the first, b the second and c the third.
a+b+c=53
b=a/3
c=2a
==>a+a/3+2a=53
==>10a/3=53
==>a=15.9
c=2*a=2*15.9=31.8
b=a/3=15.9/3=5.3
Proof: a+b+c=15.9+5.3+31.8=53
The second number is 5.3
The answer is -14 ........
