Thomas, a waiter at a local restaurant, is paid $ 4 an hour plus tips. His friend Marie works at a local bookstore for $12 an hour. Marie and Thomas worked the same number of hours. If Thomas made $120 in tips and both made the same amount of money, how many hours

Please just write the equation out.

Answer :

Let h be the number of hours worked.
Let x be the tips
Let t be Thomas
Let m be Marie’s pay

t=4h+x

(plug in 120 for x)

t=4h+120
——————————————
m=12h

(They made same amount of money working the same amount of hours)

4h+120=12h
120=8h

How many hours did they both work? :)
