Using proportions, the amount of money that Sam would need each month to pay his bills is of:

b. at least $425.32.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, his annual social security benefit is of 42% of $37,991, hence:

A = 0.42 x 37991 = $15,956.22.

Hence the monthly amount is given by:

M = 15956.22/12 = $1,329.68

He needs $1,755 monthly, hence the amount he needs is of at least:

An = 1755 - 1329.68 = $425.32.

Which means that option b is correct.

Desiree works 28 hours per week. She has a monthly income of $120 from investments. Desiree also plays in a band one night a wee
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
So hmmm let's see
she has a monthly income of 120 from investments, now, there are 12 months in a year, so her yearly income from investments are 120*12 or
$1440

she plays on a band, and makes 200 a week, now, there are 52 weeks in a year, so her yearly income from band playing is 200 * 52, or
$10400

her total annual income is 49696, now, if we subtract the band and investment income, we'd be left over with only what comes from her job payrate
so 49696 - 1440 - 10400 is 37856

so, she makes from her job, $37856 annually

now, she only works 28 hours weekly, how much is that yearly?   well, 52 weeks in a year, she works 28*52 hours a year, let us divide 37856 by that

37856 ÷ ( 28 * 52)   well, it ends up as 26

so, her hourly payrate is $26 per hour

now, she wants to ask for a raise, to make 51880 annually

well, if we check the difference of 51880 and 49696, that'd leave us with the difference in pay, or the raise annual amount

51880 - 49696 = 2184

ok, so she wants $2184 annually more from her work
how much is that in the hours she works annually?  well 2184 ÷ ( 28 * 52)

Inequality Word Problems<br><br> 100 POINTS!!!
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

1. 4 nights

2. $154

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The airfare is a fixed cost, and the cost of staying at the hotel for n nights is 98 * n. So, we add this up: 478 + 93n. This cost can be <em>no more than</em> 850 because that's Jenna's budget limit. So, we have:

478 + 93n ≤ 850

Subtract 478 from both sides:

93n ≤ 372

Divide by 93:

n ≤ 4

The maximum number of nights is 4 nights.

2. Abigail currently has $45 and she needs m more dollars in order to achieve her goal of <em>at least</em> $199. Seeing "at least", we know that we need to use the ≥ sign:

45 + m ≥ 199

Subtract 45 from both sides:

m ≥ 154

Abigail still needs at least $154.

Hope this helps!
