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)

Find the value of x to the nearest tenth 10 and 35
Verdich [7]

We can use the tangent rule for this problem because the opposite x is unknown and adjacent side 10 is knwon. Since,

tan \theta= \frac{Opposite side}{Adjacent side}

tan 35=\frac{x}{10}

0.474=\frac{x}{10} Since tan 35°=0.474

0.474*10=\frac{x}{10}*10 Multiplying each sides by 10.

4.74=x

x=4.7 (Rounded to nearest tenth)

A chef has 10 spice jars, but his new spice rack only holds 8 spice jars.
miskamm [114]
This is a statistics problem on permutation and combination. To differentiate this, permutation involves on the arrangement in which order doesn't matter. For combination, order matters.

For example, if you arrange A, B and C, for permutation it could be AB, BA, CA, AC, BC and CB. But for combination, it would just be AB, AC and BC. 

So, in this problem where he is asked to arrange 8 jars in which order doesn't matter. It is permutation. You can solve this just by calculator. The formula would be nPr, where n is the total number of items while r is the number of items to be sorted. Thus,

nPr = 10P8 = 1, 814,400

Thus, the answer is B.
