Fall has arrived and that means leaves to rake.  Tom spent Saturday working for a neighbor raking leaves from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. and he was paid $20.
On Sunday he earned $15 working for a 2nd neighbor from 11:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m.
Both neighbors have asked Tom to return this coming weekend to finish the job.  Unfortunately Tom is busy on Sunday and needs to decide which job to accept for  Saturday.  Both neighbors are interested in Tom working for them from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.   Which job should Tom accept, and how much will he earn this coming Saturday?   Show your work.
