Jenny and her two sisters fix their neighbor's garden and the three receive $24,000 per hour of work. They spend 6 hours fixing this garden. In the end, they share the money equally. How much money does each one get?
Answer (1)
To solve how much money Jenny and her two sisters each get after fixing their neighbor's garden, we need to follow these steps:
Calculate the total earnings:
They are paid $24,000 per hour. They worked for 6 hours.
Total Earnings = 24 , 000 × 6 = 144 , 000
So, the total amount earned by all three is $144,000.
Divide the earnings equally:
Since the total amount needs to be shared equally among Jenny and her two sisters, we divide $144,000 by 3.
Each person’s share = 3 144 , 000 = 48 , 000
Therefore, each sister receives $48,000.
In conclusion, after working for 6 hours each, Jenny and each of her sisters earn $48,000 from fixing their neighbor's garden.
