Question

2. Cameron worked 8 hours at the coffee shop. He earned the same amount in tips and wages each hour. At the end of his shift, Cameron has $32 in tips and $64 in wages. How much money did he earn each hour ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\ 12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let money earned in tips every hour is $x$

Money earned in wages every hour is $y$

Number of hours in the shift is 8

Money earned in 8 hours in tips is $32

$8x=32\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{32}{8}\\\Rightarrow x=4$

Money earned in 8 hours in wages is $64

$8y=64\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{64}{8}\\\Rightarrow y=8$

Money earned each hour is $x+y=4+8=\ 12$.
