Weekly Challenge
November 5-9,2001
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.
