let Kate charge x hrs, then Pat charges 2x hrs.
Pat charges 1/3 of what Mark charges=>2x=1/3M=>M=6x
so x+2x+6x=162=> x=18 hrs
Mark charges 6x, and Kate x, so Mark charges 6x-x=5x hrs more=> 5*18=90 hrs more
Pat charges 1/3 of what Mark charges=>2x=1/3M=>M=6x
so x+2x+6x=162=> x=18 hrs
Mark charges 6x, and Kate x, so Mark charges 6x-x=5x hrs more=> 5*18=90 hrs more
