Last Saturday 16 people worked at the theater. 4 people worked the morning shift and 12 people worked the evening shift. They earned a total of $1,032.00.
If each worker earned the same amount, how much did one worker earn?



Answer :

I think the fact that there were 4 people in the morning and 12 people in the evening doesn't help us at all. All we need to do is to divide the total amount of what they earned by 16:

$1,032.00 ÷ 16 =
= $64.50

Answer: Each worker earned $64.50.

Answer:

Each worker will get $64.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of people worked at the theater = 16

People worked in the morning shift = 4

People worked in the evening shift = 12

Total earning of all workers = $1032

Let the earning of each individual = $x

Therefore, equation that models the total earning will be

(4 + 12)x = 1032

16x = 1032

x = [tex]\frac{1032}{16}[/tex]

x = $64.50

Therefore, each worker will get $64.50.
