To answer this question, start by identifying the total amount of income after 5 years for the first contract.
Since you start with 15,000 and get 1000 more each year, write an expression that represents this relationship.
15000 + 1000(5)
Multiply the parenthesis to begin to simplify your expression.
This leaves you with:
15000 + 5000
Add to find the total salary after five years with the first contract.
This ends up with:
$20,000
For the second contract, you have a diffferent rate of increase. Start by finding what one percent of the initial salary is. To do this, divide 14000 by 100.
14000/100 = 140
Then to find ten percent, multiply that number by 10.
140 x 10 =1400
So, each year you add 1400 dollars to the salary.
Now, using this information, set up an expression to model the salary for contract 2 after 5 years.
This should leave you with:
14000 + 1400(5)
Begin to simplify by multiplying what’s in the parenthesis.
1400 x 5 = 7000
Now rewrite your expression:
14000 + 7000
Add to find the total salary after 5 years with contract 2.
14000 + 7000 = 21000
So the salary with contract 2 is $21,000.
So, since $21000 is $1000 more than just $20000, contract 2 is the better option. I hope this helps! :)
We add all these mixed numbers together:
1 1/2 + 2 3/4 + 2 1/3
It will be easier to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions:
3/2 + 11/4 + 7/3
Now we have to find the common denominator which is 12:
18/12 + 33/12 + 28/12 = 79/12 = 6 7/12
The answer is 6 7/12 hours.
Answer:
14 units is the answer :)
Step-by-step explanation:
P = 2L + 2W
P = 2(6x - 2) + 2(x - 1)
P = 12x - 4 + 2x - 2
P = 14x - 6
