Step-by-step explanation:

Hamish and Harry work as plumbers. Harry earns a dollar more than 5/4 the amount Hamish earns per hour. The amount Harry earns per hour is $2 less than 7/5 the amount Hamish earns per hour. How much does each of them earn per hour?

Hamish earnings per hour = x

Harry earnings = 1 + 5/4x

The amount Harry earns per hour is $2 less than 7/5 the amount Hamish earns per hour

Harry also earns = 7/5x - 2

Equate both Harry's earnings

1 + 5/4x = 7/5x - 2

Collect like terms

1 + 2 = 7/5x - 5/4x

3 = 28x-25x/20

3 = 3/20x

Divide both sides by 3/20

x = 3 ÷ 3/20

= 3 × 20/3

x = 20

Hamish earnings per hour = x

= $20

Substitute Harry's earnings into 7/5x - 2

= 7/5 × 20 - 2

= 28 - 2

= 26

Harry's earnings = $26

D. Hamish earns $20 per hour, and Harry earns $26 per hour.

Harry earns $26 an hour

Hamish earns  $20 an hour
