John and Mary were each paid x dollars in advance to do a certain job together.
John worked on the job for 10 hours and Mary worked 2 hours less than John.  If
Mary gave John y dollars of  her payment so that they would have received the same
hourly wage, what was the dollar amount, in terms of y, that John was paid in advance?
A 4y
B 5y
C 6y
D 8y
E 9y
答案是9Y  
想請問 題目的意思是要 用 Y表示 John 原本的薪水對吧 ?
