Answer:
80$ (maybe 85)
Step-by-step explanation:
combined rate =20$/hour
It can take 85 minutes for you and your friend to mow 2 acres. 35+50=85. So 85*3 (because 6/2=3) is the number of minutes you work. 255 minutes. So 4.25 hours. If you are only being paid for hours, then you will make $80. If you are being paid the extra minutes the $85. I believe that the answer you should pick is $80.
Answer:
$41.18
Step-by-step explanation:
35/50 = 0.7
Therefore, in the time it takes you mow 1 acre, your friend mows 0.7 acres
Therefore, for every 35 minutes = 1 + 0.7 = 1.7 acres are mowed by you and your friend combined.
⇒ 1.7 ÷ 35 = 0.04857142... acres mowed every minute
⇒ 6 ÷ 0.04857142... = 123.5294118... minutes to 6 acres
Therefore, it takes 35/17 hours for you and your friend to mow 6 acres
If your rate is $20 per hour, then 35/17 x 20 = $41.18
