compensation plans are different. Elijah earns a base wage of $10 per hour, as well as $2 for
every subscription that he sells. Pablo gets $3 per subscription sold, in addition to a base
wage of $5 per hour. If they each sell a certain number of subscriptions in an hour, they will

Wage Elijah earns for an hour's work = $10

Wage Elijah earns per subscription = $2

Wage Pablo earns for an hour's work = $5

Wage Pablo earns per subscription = $3

To find the number of subscriptions they both made in an hour such that both of them have the same amount of money worth them , let is find the LCM of 2 and 3 .

LCM of 2 and 3 = 6

Therefore , Elijah and Pablo must have made 6 subscriptions to end up earning the same amount in an hour .
