Jason worked 20 hours at $5 per hour and 30 hours at $6 per hour.
20 hours at $5 per hour = 20 times 5

30 hours at $6 per hour = 30 times 6


He earned $280 in 50 hours. Divide:

Your answer is the last choice, $5.60
first you would put the expression in a fraction for
180/460
you already know that the both numbers are divisible by 2
- so the answer would be 90/230 but we are still no done because these values are divisible by three
the rule to prove that the number is divisible by three is when you add the digits of the number for example 333. 3+3+3=9 and nine is divisible by nine
THE ANSWER IS:::::::: 90/230
The commutative property of addition
X= number of nickels
3x= number of dimes
Each nickel is $0.05 and each dime is $0.10. Multiply each coins monetary value by the quantity of each. Add them equal to the total $9.10.
(0.05 * x) + (0.10 * 3x)= 9.10
multiply inside parentheses
0.05x + 0.3x= 9.10
add
0.35x= 9.10
divide both sides by 0.35x
x= 26 nickels
DIMES
3x= 3(26)= 78 dimes
CHECK:
(26 nickels * 0.05) + (78 dimes * 0.10)= 9.10
$1.30 + $7.80= $9.10
$9.10= $9.10
ANSWER: There are 26 nickels and 78 dimes.
Hope this helps! :)
