Q:

Bri and Ali are the owners of Forever Nails. Bris work day is 7 hours and Mables work day is 5 hours. Bri and Ali each work 35 hours per week. On Monday, Bri has 13 clients in 7 hours and Ali has 11 clients in 5 hours. They each earn 14.25 per client. Assuming that for the rest of the week Bri and Ali have the same number of clients per workday as they did on Monday, what will be the difference between their weekly earnings?

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The difference between their weekly earning is $(1097.25 - 926.25) = $171.Step-by-step explanation:In 7 hours Bri has 13 clients and he earns $14.25 per client. So, in 35 hours working in a week, Bri will get [tex]\frac{13 \times 35}{7} = 65[/tex] clients and he earns $(14.25 Γ— 65) =$926.25 from his clients. Again, in 5 hours Ali has 11 clients and he earns $14.25 per client. So, in 35 hours working in a week, Bri will get [tex]\frac{11 \times 35}{5} = 77[/tex] clients and he earns $(14.25 Γ— 77) =$1097.25 from his clients. Therefore, the difference between their weekly earning is $(1097.25 - 926.25) = $171. (Answer)
