A Fitting Wage

 

 

 

      Fred has just become an apprentice steamfitter and he found out his hourly pay is half that of Cathy's, who has been on the job for two years.  Wanda who has been on the job just a little longer than Cathy is paid three times what Fred gets.  If you add up each of the three hourly wages they would equal $72.  What is the hourly wage of each steamfitter?

 

 

 

 

Good Luck!!!!!
