Kevin earns $2 more per hour than aaron and $2.50 less per hour than christabel at their jobs as lifeguards at the local pool. Together, they all earn $48.50 per hour. What is each person's hourly wage?

Kevin makes $16/hr, Aaron makes $14/hr, Christabel makes $18.5/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Kevin is x

Aaron is x-2

Christabel is x+2.5

add the three together and solve for x

x + (x-2) + (x+2.5) = 48.5

3x+.5=48.5

3x=48

x=16
