One month, Jon worked 3 hours less than Chaya, and Amgelica worked 4 hours more than Chaya. Together they worked 196 hours. Find the number of hours each person worked.
Okay lets look at the problem first so Chaya is our X Value and we know that the total is 196 lets divide the total by 3 so we have 65.1 lets forget the point one for now know if each person worked 65 hours this would be over but we know that Jon Worked 3Hours less then Chaya that would put him at 62 Know we need to put that 3 hours to the side and remember we havnt used it yet And we know that Amgelica worked 4 more hours then Chaya andwe still have 4 hours left over so that puts her at 69 hours so Jon (a) worked 62 hours Amgelica (b)worked 69 hours and Chaya (c)at 65 a+b+c=196 62+69+65=196 I hope this helped
