Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to the question, what the maximum hours Jack will work to make 750 is;

The maximum, amount of hours Jack can work to make 750 is 60 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question, we note that

Janus is paid 10/hour

Jack is paid 12/hour

Required amount = 750 per week

∴ at 10 per hour 750 = 750÷10 = 75 hours

at 12.5 750 requires 750/12.5  = 60 hours    

Therefore Jack can work 60 hours to make 750 while

Janus can work for only 65 hours and make 650.
