Answer:  \textsf{4.86 per hour}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given: \textsf{Initial wage = 4.50, Increase = 8\%}

Find:  \textsf{New hourly wage}

Solution: The first step would be to create an expression to incapsulate the scenario and then we would solve for the new hourly wage and we would get our answer.

<u>Create an expression</u>

  • \textsf{New = Initial * (1 + Increase)}
  • \textsf{New = 4.50 * (1 + 8\%)}
  • \textsf{New = 4.50 * (1 + 0.08)}

<u>Simplify the expression</u>

  • \textsf{New = 4.50 * (1.08)}
  • \textsf{New = 4.86 hourly wage}

We were able to determine that the new hourly wage after an increase of 8% would be 4.86 per hour.

Lucy earns ​$5.50 per hour at a local restaurant. She earns time and a half for each hour she works on a holiday. Lucy worked se
Mrrafil [7]
X will be used for the value of money she earned that week.

H represents the normal hours she worked.

D represents the number of days.

Y will represent the hours on the holiday.

Since she would be getting time and a half on the holiday, you would need to find how much time and a half pay would be first.

Time and a half = 5.50(1/2) + 5.50 = $8.25/hr for the day or holiday only.

X = 5.50(H)(D) + 8.25(Y)

Plug in your numbers

X = 5.50(7)(5) + 8.25(4)

X = 192.5 + 33

She made $225.5 that week.

the concrete slab under a garage measures 38 feet by 37 feet and is 6 inches thick. if concrete costs 150$ for a cubic yard, how
Natalka [10]
STEP 1
find cubic feet; multiply the three dimensions together; be sure to use the same unit of measure for all three dimensions: 6 inches is equal to 1/2'.

= 38' * 37' * 1/2'
multiply

= 703 cubic feet


STEP 2
divide cubic feet in step 1 by number of cubic feet in a cubic yard

27 cubic feet= 1 cubic yard

= 703 ÷ 27
= 26.037 cubic yards


STEP 3
multiply cubic yards in step 2 by cost per cubic yard

= 26.037 * $150
= $3,905.555
= $3,906 rounded to nearest dollar


ANSWER: It will cost $3,906 (rounded to nearest dollar).

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

puppies - 22

Step-by-step explanation:

since the ratio is 2:3, there are 5 parts in total. (2+3=5)

55/5=11 then multiply by parts

puppies- 2×11=22

adults- 3×11=33

check answer by adding- 22+33=55

The graph of f(x) = x2 was transformed tu
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

i: the domain.

iii: the axis of symmetry.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function:

f(x) = x^2

The domain of this function is the set of all real numbers, and the range is:

R: [0, ∞)

(because 0 is the minimum of x^2)

Now we have the transformation:

d(x) = f(x) + 9 = x^2 + 9

Notice that this is only a vertical translation of 9 units, then there is no horizontal movement, then the axis of symmetry does not change.

Also, in d(x) there is no value of x that makes a problem, so the domain is the set of all real numbers, then the domain does not change.

And d(x) = x^2 + 9 has the minimum at x = 0, then the minimum is:

d(0) = 0^2 + 9 = 9

Then the range is:

R: [9,  ∞)

Then the range changes.

So we can conclude that the attributes that will be the same for f(x) and d(x) are:

i: the domain.

iii: the axis of symmetry.
