You cannot work over 65 hours Janus paid 12.5 per hour Jack is paid 10 per hour they need a minimum of 750 per week what is the maximum amount of hours Jack and work

The answer to the question, what the maximum hours Jack will work to make 750 is;

The maximum, amount of hours Jack can work to make 750 is 60 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question, we note that

Janus is paid 10/hour

Jack is paid 12/hour

Required amount = 750 per week

∴ at 10 per hour 750 = 750:10 = 75 hours

at 12.5 750 requires 750/12.5 = 60 hours

Therefore Jack can work 60 hours to make 750 while

Janus can work for only 65 hours and make 650.
