stepladder [879]

Note: 6 employees means half of the employees contributed $7.75 each.


6 x $7.75 = $46.50.


To find how much money remains to be collected, subtract $46.50 from $100.


So, $100 - $46.50 = $53.50 is the answer.

Put this equation into slope intercept form 6x+12y=9
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

y = - \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{3}{4}

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

rearrange 6x + 12y = 9 into this form

subtract 6x from both sides

12y = - 6x + 9 ( divide all terms by 12 )

y = - \frac{6}{12} x + \frac{9}{12} ( which simplifies to )

y = - \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{3}{4}

Find 15.75 ÷ 0.25 using a Giant One.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

15.75 divided by 0.25

In every 1 whole number, there are 4 of 0.25

Now we have 15 as whole number so simply multiply 15 x 4

15 * 4 = 60, there are 60 pieces of .025s in 15.

0.75 has 3 0.25s  

Now, let’s add 60 + 3 = 63, the answer is 63.

There are 63 pieces of 0.25 in 15.75.

15.75 / 0.25

63
