Cameron earns four times as much as a tutor than a fast food worker. His sister only has one job because she earns one and a half times as much as a tutor than Cameron. Her weekly wage is $250 more than Cameron. How much does Cameron earn as a tutor?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$500 per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Cameron earns $x as a tutor.

As his sister earns one and a half times as much as a tutor, so, his sister earns $1.5x.

Since the weekly wage of Cameron's sister is $250 more than Cameron, so

[tex]1.5x=x+250[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 1.5x-x=250[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 0.5x=250[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x=500.[/tex]

Hence, the weekly earning of Cameron is $500.
