Chris and Ed decide to help each other by doing repairs on each other's houses. Chris is a carpenter and Ed is an electrician. Chris does carpentry work on his house as well as on Ed's house. Similarly, Ed does electrical repairs on his house and on Chris's house. When they are all finished they realize that Chris spent 42% of his time on his own house and 58% of his time on Ed's house, and that Ed spent 56% of his time on his own house and 44% of his time on Chris's house. If they originally agreed that the total of the work should amount to $9000, how much money should each get for their work?
