Acrew consists of 1 apprentice, 1 journeyman, and 1 master carpenter.

the crew receives a check for $5600 for a job they just finished. a journeyman makes 200% of what an apprentice makes, and a master makes 250% of what a journeyman makes. how much does each person on the crew earn?

$700, $1400, $3500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the earnings of the apprentice be x.

Then, earnings of journeyman is 200%  = 200/100 = 2 times of apprentice.

Hence, earnings of the journeyman is 2x.

Again,  earnings of master is 250%  = 250/100 = 2.5 times of journeyman.

Hence, earnings of the master is 2.5*2x = 5x.

Total earnings = Earnings of apprentice + journeyman + master = $5600

=> x + 2x + 5x = $5600

=> 8x = $5600

=> x = $700

Hence,

Earnings of apprentice = x = $700

Earnings of journeyman = 2x = $1400

Earnings of master = 5x = $3500

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square
