Accepted Solution

A:
organize your info. Jeremy: 20$/week, 640$ initial, 1469$ final. Randall 28$*3lawns/(2weeks), 728$ initial, 1701 final. set up an equation. You know you are going to need the amount remaining and a relationship between income and weeks.Β  Randall: 1469-640=(20$/week)*Xweeks. solve for x. do the same for randall and compare the number of weeks.
