Part A.

Amount of money earned = Regular rate per hour * Number of working hours

M = 12 x

 

Part B.

Amount of wages earned = Regular rate per hour * Maximum number of regular working hours + Overtime rate per hour * Excess working hours

T = 12 * 30 + 16 * y

T = 360 + 16 y

or

T = 16 y + 360

 

Part C.

Given T = 408, find y:

408 = 16 y + 360

y = 3 hrs

Therefore the total hours Gary worked that week is,

<span>x + y = 30 + 3 = 33 hrs        </span>

<span>(x = 30 since that is the maximum limit for regular working hours)</span>

Two urns contain white balls and yellow balls. The first urn contains 3 white balls and 6 yellow balls and the second urn contai
yuradex [85]
We have 3 white balls in the first urn out of 9. That means we have a 1 in 3 chance at picking the white ball in the first urn.

Now, we have a 3 in 11 chance at picking the white ball in the second urn.

Since, we want them simultaneously, we need to multiply them.

1/3 × 3/11 = 1/11 chance

The sum of one-fifth of a number and two is five
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first write an equation where the unknown number is represented with variable x. <em>The sum of a fifth of x and two is five:</em>

\frac{1}{5} x+2=5

Great! Let's solve for x by isolating the variable.

\frac{1}{5}x=3\\x=15

<u>Therefore, the unknown number is 15.</u>

<u />
