bobs burgers pays waitresses $49.50 per day ans $5 every hour that they work. sammys sandwiches pays sandwich artists $25 per day and $8.50 each hour they work. how many hours would you have to work in order to earn the same amount of money from both restaurants?
If an hour is x, you make 5x dollars at bob's burgers and 8.5x dollars at sammy's. As 49.5 and 25 are base values, we get 49.5+5x=25+8.5x. Subtracting 5x and 25 from both sides, we get 24.5=3.5x and dividing by 3, we get 24.5/3.5=x=7 hours
