<span>The minimum wage in 2003 was $5. Let denote this minimum wage with: W_min_2003.
In 1996 the minimum wage was 15 the W_min_2003 ,so we can write:
W_min_1996=15*W_min_2003=15*5 USD= 75 USD.
The minimum wage in 1996 was 75 USD.</span>
Answer:
D. $10,540
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 20% of $24,900 is $4,980
2. 20% of $27,800 is $5,560
3. Add $4,980 to $5,560
4. Answer is $10,540 in commission
A + c = 824 represents number of tickets to sell
20a + 12c = 13,344 represents cost of each type of ticket
multiply equation 1 by -12 to cancel the variable 'c' and solve for 'a'
-12(a + c = 824)
-12a - 12c = - 9888
20a + 12c = 13,344 add equations together
-----------------------------
8a = 3456 divide both sides by 8
a = 432
To find children's tickets substitute adult numbers back into equation 1.
a + c = 824
432 + c = 824
subtract 432 from both sides
c = 392
adult 432, children 392
