An employment agency pays heavy equipment operators $129 per day and general laborers
An employment agency pays heavy equipment operators $129 per day and general laborers $96 per day. if 35 people were hired and the payroll was $4185, how many heavy equipment operators were employed? how many laborers?
If 35 people were hired at $96 per day, the daily payroll would be 35*96=3500-140=$3360 Actual payroll is 4185, or (4185-3360)=$825 more. At (129-96)=$33 more per operator, there are 825/33=25 operators, hence 35-25=10 general laborers.
Alternative: L=number of labourers (35-L)=number of operators Total daily payroll =96L+129(35-L)=4185 simplify 33L=129*35-4185=330 L=330/33=10 THere are 10 labourers and (35-10)=25 operators.
