Answer:

Alex can do the job in 60 days alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex and Brandon working together, they can finish the job of cleaning the school in 15 hours. Brandon alone in 20 hours can finish the job.

So, Brandon can complete \frac{1}{20} part of the job in one hour.

Let, Alex alone can finish the same job in x hours.

So, Alex can complete \frac{1}{x} part of the job in one hour.

So, working together they do (\frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{x}) = \frac{x + 20}{20x} part of the whole job in one hour.

Hence, from the conditions given we can write

\frac{x + 20}{20x} = \frac{1}{15}

⇒ 15x + 300 = 20x

⇒ 5x = 300

⇒ x = 60 days.

Therefore, Alex can do the job in 60 days alone. (Answer)

X will be used for the value of money she earned that week.

H represents the normal hours she worked.

D represents the number of days.

Y will represent the hours on the holiday.

Since she would be getting time and a half on the holiday, you would need to find how much time and a half pay would be first.

Time and a half = 5.50(1/2) + 5.50 = $8.25/hr for the day or holiday only.

X = 5.50(H)(D) + 8.25(Y)

Plug in your numbers

X = 5.50(7)(5) + 8.25(4)

X = 192.5 + 33

She made $225.5 that week.
