Joe earns $14 an hour and Blaine earns $18 per hour. Joe receives a raise of $1.75 every six months, and Blaine receives a raise
Katarina [22]

After 4 interval of six months, Joe to earn same hourly rate as Blaine

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Amount earned by Joe = $ 14 per hour

Amount earned by Blaine = $ 18 per hour

Lets assume the number of six month intervals be "x"

<em><u>Joe receives a raise of $1.75 every six months</u></em>

Therefore,

Joe earning: 14 + 1.75(number of six month intervals)

Equation for Joe earning: 14 + 1.75x ------- eqn 1

<em><u>Blaine receives a raise of $0.75 every six months</u></em>

Therefore,

Blaine earning: 18 + 0.75(number of six month intervals)

Equation for Blaine earning: 18 + 0.75x ------------ eqn 2

The number of six-month intervals it will take Joe to earn the same hourly rate as Blaine,

Eqn 1 must be equal to eqn 2

14+1.75x = 18+0.75x\\\\1.75x-0.75x = 18-14\\\\1x = 4\\\\x = 4

Thus after 4 interval of six months, Joe to earn same hourly rate as Blaine.

The difference in salary is 36000-28000=8000

The difference in annual increase is 3000-2000=1000

Therefore it takes 8000/1000= 8 years to catch up.

At the end of eight years,

Salary with the first company = 28000+8*3000=52000

Salary with the second company = 36000+8*2000=52000
