Answer:
1.) Antoinette receives P200.50 as school allowance from her mother. Her aunt gave her an additional P183.75. If her daily expenses is P36.75, for how many days will her allowance last?
200.5 php from mother
183.75 from aunt
total allowance = 200.5 + 183.75 = 384.25
36.75 = daily expenses
days = total allowance / daily expenses
days = 384.25/36.75
= 10.45578 days -------------------------------answer
her allowance will last for 10.45578 days
2.) Jeje and Ronald repaired a broken rattan bed and we're paid P1,128.00. If Jeje worked for 8.5 hours and Ronald for 7.5 hours, how much were they paid per hour?
total hours work = 8.5+7.5 = 16 hours
1128/16 = 70.5 php per hour
they were paid 70.5 php per hour
another solution
let x = pay per hour
8.5x+7.5x = 1128
16x = 1128
x = 1128/16
x=70.5
they were paid 70.5 php per hour
