Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
As per statement Lyle and Roy do landscaping. They earned $840 for a project. If Lyle earned $4 for every $1 earned by Roy, the amount of money went to Lyle to be calculated.
Let the rationale between earning of both Lyle and Roy be x
If Roy earned 1x then Lyle earned 4x
4x + 1x = $840
5x = $840
x = $840/5
x =$168
The rationale is $168, thus
The earning of Lyle is 4x = 4 × $168 = $672
The earning of Roy ix 1x = 1 × $168 = $168
Answer Lyle earned $672 out of total earning of $840 for a project
