Hey,
PFB the solution.
- • Let Jeff's normal hourly rate be \(J\)
• Then as per the given condition
- o Annie hour rate \(= J * (1 + 5/100) = 1.5 J\)
o Jeff's rate on Saturday \(= 3J\)
• In the same time, Jeff will get = \(30J\)
• As per the given condition, if Jeff wants to get an amount equal to Annie, he will need to work say H(hours) on Saturday and we need to find the value of H.
- o Amount Jeff gets = Amount Annie gets
o \(30J + 3J * H = 45J\)
o \(3J* H = 15J\)
o \(H = 5\)hours
Thus, the correct answer is Option D
Thanks,

Let's say Jeff hourly rate is $2
Therefore, Annie hourly rate is $3 (2 x 1.5)
Jeff = 2 x 30 = 60
Annie = 3 x 30 = 90
If Jeff's hourly rate is three times his hourly rate on Saturday
Then he makes $6 per hour on Saturday
90 - 60 = 30
30/6 = 5 more hours
Which is answer D
