P and Q are the only two applicants qualified for a short-term research project that pays 480 dollars in total. Candidate P has more experience and, if hired, would be paid 50 percent more per hour than candidate Q would be paid. Candidate Q, if hired, would require 10 hours more than candidate P to do the job. Candidate P’s hourly wage is how many dollars greater than candidate Q’s hourly wage?	Choose the most appropriate option:	A) $5	B) $8	C) $11	D) $14	E) $17
Let Q's hourly wage be x, then P's hourly wage is 1.5x   Let T be the number of hours that Q needs, then P needs T-10 hours to do the job.   Since they both are paid an equal total amount of $480:   x*T=1.5x*(T-10)   T = 30 hours and Q's hourly wage is 480/30=
