[Question]It takes 3 men an hour to complete a job. If they are hired to work on 5 such similar jobs by a company that pays each of them $10 per hour, calculate the total amount of money the three will earn when they complete the jobs?
[Answer]Since they are paid $10 each per hour of work and can complete a job in one hour, they earn a total of $10 * 3 = $30 together for an hour of work. If they earn together $30 for one job, for the five jobs, they'll earn $30 * 5 = $150. The answer is 150.
