Question

Students from three middle schools worked on a summer project. * Seven students from Allen school worked for 3 days. * Four students from Balboa school worked for 5 days. * Five students from Carver school worked for 9 days. The total amount paid for the students' work was 744. Assuming each student received the same amount for a day's work, how much did the students from Balboa school earn altogether?

Accepted Answer

Altogether, the summer project totaled (7)(3)+(4)(5)+(5)(9)=21+20+45=86 days of work for a single student. This equals 744/86=9 dollars per day per student. The students from Balboa school earned 9(4)(5)=180.00 dollars.
