I am setting the week hourly rate to x, and the weekend to y. Here is how the equation is set up:
13x + 14y = $250.90
15x + 8y = $204.70
This is a system of equations, and we can solve it by multiplying the top equation by 4, and the bottom equation by -7. Now it equals:
52x + 56y = $1003.60
-105x - 56y = -$1432.90
Now we add these two equations together to get:
-53x = -$429.30 --> 53x = $429.30 --> (divide both sides by 53) x = 8.10. This is how much she makes per hour on a week day.
Now we can plug in our answer for x to find y. I am going to use the first equation, but you could use either.
$105.30 + 14y = $250.90. Subtract $105.30 from both sides --> 14y = $145.60 divide by 14 --> y = $10.40
Now we know that she makes $8.10 per hour on the week days, and $10.40 per hour on the weekends. Subtracting 8.1 from 10.4, we figure out that she makes $2.30 more per hour on the weekends than week days.
Answer
Answer= 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 4 because for the median you have to put the numbers from smallest to largest.
When you have done that you have to find the middle number which in this case is 4.

The lot costs 5000 dollars.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The cost of a House and the lot = $40,000.
Let us assume the cost of lot as 'x'
Given that, The cost of the house is 7 times as much as the lot.
Therefore, The cost of the house= 7x
The cost of both the house and the lot= x + 7x
$40,000 = x + 7x
40,000 = 8x
x = 40,000/8
x = 5,000
The lot costs $5000.
The answer to that is :
15,368
