Answer:

a. Ike and Nancy will make at least $54.

b. Ike and Nancy will make no more than $90 .

a.Ike and Nancy will make the least money if all the 36 people were members of Elk Lodge.

If all the 36 people who took the class on Sunday were members of Elk Lodge, each of the 36 people would have paid only $3.00 for the lesson.

Since Ike and Nancy are paid only half of the money, they'll get [tex]\frac{1}{2}*3 = 1.50[/tex] per person.

Hence Ike and Nancy will make [tex]1.50 * 36 =54[/tex]

b. Ike and Nancy will make the most money if all the 36 people were not members of Elk Lodge.

If all the 36 people who took the class on Sunday were members of Elk Lodge, each of the 36 people would have paid $5.00 for the lesson.

Since Ike and Nancy are paid only half of the money, they'll get [tex]\frac{1}{2}*5 = 2.50[/tex] per person.

Hence Ike and Nancy will make [tex]2.50 * 36 =90[/tex]
