Nathan gets 8$ per hour plus a weekly bonus of 33$. Marissa gets 9$ per hour no bonus. if they work an equal number of hours and were paid an equal amount of money last week. how many hours did they each work
Let h be the number of hours they both work.
Nathan’s wages: h*8 + 33
Marissa’s wages: h*9
Since they both get paid the same, then we can equate these two values. i.e.
h*8 + 33 = h*9
9h = 8h + 33
h = 33
Answer: they both work for 33 hours that week
