Because the sofa usually sells for $800, we know that's 100% of the price.
100% = $800
Let's find 1%.
1% = $800/100
1% = $8
Next, multiply $8 by 75 to find the percent of the sofas price when it's $600.
75% = $600
We now know that $600 is 75% of the sofas original price.
100% - 75% = 25%
The percent of decrease I'm the sofas sale price is 25%.
Hope I got that right, the question was worded a little strangley so I wasn't quite sure what you were asking :)
Answer:
John and Pam are paid $8.5 for each hour worked. John's share of the money is $29.75.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the hourly salary. John worked for 3.5 hrs, and Pam for two. We can represent this using the equation:
3.5x + 2x = 46.75, where the coefficients equals the amount of hours.
Let's solve for x!
5.5x=46.75
x = 46.75/5.5 = 17/2 = 8.5
John and Pam are paid 8.5 dollars per each hour worked.
To figure out John's share of the money, we will multiply the wage by the hours he worked.
8.5 x 3.5 = 29.75
