text: # This is for my study guide for finals-the answer key says that it's about 4.8 but I don't know how to do it. Joe and Sahen work for King Donuts. Each hour, Joe makes 150 donuts, and Sahen makes 120 donuts. Joe starts making donuts 1.5 hours after Sahen starts. If a total of 1502 donuts were made, how many hours, to the nearest tenth, did Joe work? Thanks!

  The following equation expresses what your looking for:
  
  x = time spent making donuts
  1502 = 150(x - 1.5) + 120x
  
  Solving for x:
  
  1502 = 150x - 225 +120x
  1502 + 225 = (150 + 120)x
  1727 = 270x
  1727/270 = x = 6.4
  
  You can see I didn't get the answer from the answer key, but this is my interpretation of the question statement provided.
  
  It may be possible the answer key is incorrect. sorry if this doesn't help.
  thank you! That's the answer I got also when I tried it the first time so I'm guessing the answer key is wrong.
  It wouldn't surprise me, as I've encountered on more than one occasion an incorrect answer in the key. You're sure you've stated the problem verbatim?
  Yes, I'm just going to ask my teacher if the answer key is wrong because she said that some were.
explanation: The document contains a math problem and a detailed solution provided by a user. The problem involves calculating the number of hours Joe worked given the total number of donuts made and the rates at which Joe and Sahen make donuts. The user also mentions that the answer key provides a different answer, and there is a discussion about the potential error in the answer key.
