We have an equation: 3/8= 45/? (= x/y)

Cross multiply:
3*?= 8*45
⇒ ?= 8*45/3= 120

Final answer: y= 120~

Let's make things easier by simplifying things.

y = 8 and x = 3 is more likely to be understood as a ratio. So for the rest of the answer, their relationship would be represented as y:x

Thus: y:x = 8:3

The problem would be finding y when x = 45

Let us proceed on using the previous equation and substitute x with 45 which would look like this:

y:45 = 8:3

Ratios can also be expressed as fractions which would make things more understandable and easy to solve. So the new form of our equation would be like this:

y/45 = 8/3

Then we proceed with a cross multiplication where the equation becomes like as what is shown below:

3y = 45 * 8

From there, you can solve it by multiplying 45 and 8 then dividing the product with 3 to get y

3y = 360

y = 120

Another way of looking at the problem, especially problems like these, is to take the whole question or statement as an equation. it would probably look like this:

y = 8 when x = 3 : y = ? when x = 45

This would make you understand what approach you can use to solve the given problem.

If 2500 amounted to 3500 in 4 years as simple interest .find the rates at wish the interest was charged
Bad White [126]

Answer:

The interest rate per year is 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is A = P(1+rt)

Substitute the numbers

3500 = 2500 (1+4r)

solve for r:

3500/2500 = 1+4r

1.4-1 = 4r

0.4 /4 = r

r = 0.1

£864.00 to be accrued<br> after £800 is invested with<br> 2% pa simple interest.
Vsevolod [243]

Answer: 4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question isn't complete but I believe that you want to calculate the number of years. This will be:

Simple Interest = PRT/100

where,

Interest = 864 - 800 = 64

Principal = 800

Rate = 2%

Therefore, 64 = 800 × 2 × T /100

Cross multiply

64 × 100 = 1600T

6400 = 1600T

T = 6400/1600

T = 4

Therefore, time will be 4 years

Mike works two part time jobs while going to college. He works 8 and half hours a week at the ice-cream store for $10.55 per hou
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

1.$186.63

2.$145.57

3.$7.27 more

4.65.65%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mike has two part time jobs.

<u>Job 1: Ice-cream store</u>

Number of hours worked= 8.5 hours

Payment per hour=$10.55

<u>Job 2: Movie theater</u>

Number of hours worked=7 hours

Payment per hour=$13.85

1. Earnings per week before taxes

⇒For job 1 will be; the product of hours worked and hourly payments

= 8.5×$10.55 =$89.68

⇒For job 2 will be;

=7×$13.85=$96.95

Total=$89.68+$96.95=$186.63

2.  Calculate amount taken as tax

    Find 22% of the amount earned

   = 22/100 * 186.63 =$41.06

  Remaining amount after tax will be;

   =$186.63-$41.06=$145.57

3.

The job that Mike earns the most before taxes is  at the Movie theater.

How much more will be; Earnings at Movie theater-Earnings at the Ice-cream store

=$96.95-$89.68

=$7.27 more

4.

After paying taxes the amount remaining is $145.57

After spending $50 on entertainment,the amount left will be;

 

$145.57-$50=$95.57

so to find the percent of remaining amount of Mike's paycheck will be;

95.57/145.57 *100=65.65%
