The inequality for this problem is

200 - 2w < 175 => 2w > 200-175 => 2w > 25 => w > 12.5

The conclusion is that Ryan will have less than 175 lbs after 13-th week.

Good luck!!!

Bruce's hourly wage increased from $15.50 to $18.60. What rate of increase does this represent?

daser333 [38]

It went up from 15.50 to 18.60, so it really went up 3.10.

if we take 15.50 to be the 100%, what is 3.10 off of it in percentage?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
15.50&100\\
3.10&p
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{15.50}{3.10}=\cfrac{100}{p}\implies p=\cfrac{3.10\cdot 100}{15.50}$
