The only numbers I could think of would be 1, 2, and 4 because 4 is greater than 3 (2+1) and four times greater than 1 (2-1)
8-x because you are seeing how tall it grew this week
His hourly rate is $13.75.
Let x be the hourly rate. Since he works 20 hours that week, the hourly wages are given by 20x. We add to that his commission, which is 16% of the $1500 in sales, or 0.16(1500). This totals to 515:
20x + 0.16(1500) = 515
20x + 240 = 515
Subtract 240 from both sides:
20x + 240 - 240 = 515 - 240
20x = 275
Divide both sides by 20:
20x/20 = 275/20
x = 13.75.
Answer:
You will have 128 orange marbles
Step-by-step explanation:
Set this up as an equation
Variable x = number of orange marbles
3/8 = 48/x
Cross multiply
3 × x = 8 × 48
3x = 384
Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the variable
3x ÷ 3 = 384 ÷ 3
1x = 128
x = 128
128 orange marbles
Check work:
Substitute the variable x for the answer
3/8 = 48/128
Cross multiply
3 × 128 = 8 × 48
384 = 384
If the numbers equal, the answer is correct
