Christine makes 6 cakes per hour, while Kelly makes 4 cakes per hour. If Christine gets paid $11 less than Kelly for each cake, how much in dollars should Kelly be paid for each cake for Christine and Kelly to earn the same amount each hour?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Kelly's pay per cake be 'x',, then Christine's pay will be 'x-11'

Kelly makes 4 cakes per hour, her hourly income is 4x

Christine makes 6 cakes per hour, her hourly income is 6(x-11)

For the two to be equal,

4x = 6(x-11)

4x = 6x - 66

6x - 4x = 66

2x = 66

x = 33

Kelly should be paid $33 per cake
