The additional percent of his regular pay rate is 82.5% which he earned in the longer shift.

<h3>What is the percentage?</h3>

It is defined as the ratio of two numbers expressed in the fraction of 100 parts. It is the measure to compare two data, the % sign is used to express the percentage.

The longer shift is 12 hours.

Basic pay = $136.00

On a longer shift, Thomas earned = $248.20

The percent in increase:

$\rm Percent \ increase = \dfrac{final \ amount - initial \ amount}{initial \ amount}\times 100$

$\rm Percent \ increase = \dfrac{248.20-136}{136}\times 100$

Percent increase = 82.5%

Thus, the additional percent of his regular pay rate is 82.5% which he earned in the longer shift.

A triangle has side lengths of 33,56, and 65. Is it a right triangle? Explain.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

U can see if it is a right triangle bu using the pythagorean theorem (or however it is spelled)

a^2 + b^2 = c^2....where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse (the largest side)

so lets sub our numbers in and see if they equal
33^2 + 56^2 = 65^2
1089 + 3136 = 4225
4225 = 4225.......correct...so YES, this is a right triangle

Which algebraic expressions are polynomials? Check all that apply. PLEASE HELP

dexar [7]

Selections 2, 3, 5, 6 are polynomials.

1 and 4 are not. The coefficients don't have to be integers, but the powers of the variables need to be positive integers. In 1, you have x^-1. in 4, you have x^(1/2).

Which of the following statements are true of solving equations?

katrin2010 [14]

we will check each options

option-A:

For solving any equations , we always isolate variables on anyone side

For exp: x+7=1

so, this is TRUE

option-B:

For solving system of equations

For exp:

x-y=1

x+y=3

If we use addition , we could easily solve for x and y

so, this is TRUE

option-C:

We always solve problems using conventional method

we do not guess

so, this is FALSE

option-D:

We often reverse order of operation

For exp:

(x-2)^2-3=0

so, this is TRUE

option-E:

For linear equations , we always get one solution , infinite solutions or no solutions

so, this is FALSE

20% of city employees ride the bus to work. This is up 10% from last year. What percent of employees rode the bus to work last y

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

18.18% of employees rode the bus to work last year

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

Last year, a proportion of x employees riding the bus was 100% = 1.

This year, 20% = 0.2 ride the bus, which is 100 + 10 = 110% = 1.1 of last year.

0.2 - 1.1

x - 1

$1.1x = 0.2$

$x = \frac{0.2}{1.1}$

$x = 0.1818$

0.1818*100 = 18.18%

18.18% of employees rode the bus to work last year
