Answer:

$18.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Now the mechanics earn $14.2 per hour, which is 25.1% less than before.

If we say that the earnings before were 100% (to facilitate our calculation and understand better), now the earrings are (100-25.1)%=74.9%. This is, now they make the 74.9% of what they used to made.

So:

74.9% = 14.2

Let's multiply both sides by 100%/74.9% to make a 100% appear at the left side (see that multiply and divide by 74.9 will make it desapear):

74.9% *(100%/74.9%) = 14.2 * (100%/74.9%)

100% = 14.2 * (100%/74.9%)

And (100%/74.9%) is equal to 1/0.749, they are the same. So:

100% = 14.2 * 1/0.749

100% = 18.96

So, before the new manager they used to make $18.96. (you can verify by multiplying it by 74.9% and the result is 14.2)

The square below represents one whole.
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Fraction: 81/100

Decimal: 0.81

Percentage: 81%

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is complete but the diagram mentioned can be found in

brainly.com/question/12188410

First step is to find the area of the whole square and then the area of the part that was shaded.

From the diagram, there are 100 squares in the whole square. 81 of those squares are shaded.

Area of the whole square = 10 by 10

= 10×10 = 100unit²

Area of shaded region = (10 by 8) + 1

= 80+1 = 81unit²

shaded area expressed as a fraction = 81unit²/100unit²

= 81/100

Shaded area expressed as a decimal = 81/100

You take the number 81 and carry the point by two decimal place from the right

= 0.81

Shaded area expressed as a percent of the whole = (81/100) × 100

= (81×100)/100

= 81%

What is a possible solution for x+6≥10
ira [324]

Answer:

4,5,6

Step-by-step explanation:

*The sign of ≥ means that it must be greater or equal to 10 in this case

1). 3 isn't a possible solution due to 9 being less than 10

3+6_10

9_10

9<10

2). 4 is a possible solution due to the sum of 4 and 6 being equal to 10

4+6_10

10_10

10=10

3). 5 is a possible solution due to the sum of 5 and 6 being larger than 10

5+6_10

11_10

11>10

4).6 is a possible solution due to the sum of 6 and 6 being larger than 10

6+6_10

12_10

12>10

Hope this helped! (:
