Given :
Shad and Aden spread manure to earn spending money. They worked for 9 hours at a rate of $12.50 per hour.
Each received half of the total earnings.
To Find :
If Shad then spent $15 on a new hat, what was the total amount he had left, in dollars and cents, from the money he earned spreading manure.
Solution :
Their total income is given by :
[tex]Income = \$(9\times 12.50)\\\\Income = \$112.5[/tex]
Each get = $112.5/2 = $56.25
Money left after pending $15 is :
Money left = $( 56.25 - 15 ) = $41.25 .
Hence, this is the required solution.
