One Saturday, Sam and Joe worked together to mow lawns. Sam started at 8:00 AM and Joe started at 11:00 AM. When they finished at 4:00 PM, they had earned a total of $156. They want to share the money they earned fairly based on the number of hours worked. How much should Joe receive?

Joe worked 5hrs

Sam worked 8hrs

In total they worked 13hrs

Divide 156 by 13

They earned $12 an hour

12 times 8 = $96

5 times 12 = $60

Joe should recieve $60

Sam should recieve $96

Sam worked from 8am to 4pm, for a total 8 hours.

Joe worked from 11 am to 4 pm, for a total of 5 hours.

Combined, they worked 8 + 5 = 13 hours, and earned $156.

That means they earned 156 : 13 = $12 per hour

Sam worked 8 hours, so he should receive 8 * 12 = $96

Joe worked 5 hours, so he should receive 5 * 12 = $60

Answer is $60
