Pay and work rate distribution exercise: Suppose two construction workers did a job together over several days and agreed to split the profits as follows:

Contractor A: 40%

Contractor B: 60%

Contractor B had to leave the job early on some days. So, contractor A ended up working 9 h more than contractor B. The job took 39 h to complete and the two contractors worked together side by side for 30 h. If the net profit was $6,000.00, how much should each receive based on the percentage split that they agreed to?
