Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The estimated gardening hours = 75 hours
The estimated foreman hours = 25 hours
The hourly wages of a gardener = g
The hourly wages of a foreman = f
If the hourly wage for a foreman is 30%, more than a gardener plus an additional $1.65 per hour, then,
f = ([tex]\frac{30}{100}[/tex] of g + g) + 1.65
f = ([tex]\frac{30}{100}[/tex] x g + g) + 1.65
f = 0.3g + g + 1.65
f = 1.3g + 1.65 (1)
The total wages for the gardeners = The estimated gardening hours x The hourly wages of a gardener
The total wages for the gardeners = 75 x g
= 75g
The total wages for the foreman = The estimated foreman hours x The hourly wages of a foreman
The total wages for the foreman = 25 x f
= 25f
The total wages for the foreman + The total wages for the gardeners = The total budgets for the project for the estimated hours
25f + 75g = 1600 (2)
Therefore the answer is option B. 25f + 75g = 1600 f = 1.3g + 1.65
