suppose the weekly payment is of x dollars

Then

Previous payment : $(x/40) per hour

New payment : $(x/35) per hour

Then

The percentage increase in the hourly rate of pay is :

$=\frac{\frac{x}{35} -\frac{x}{40} }{\frac{x}{40} } \times100$

$=\frac{\frac{5x}{1400} }{\frac{x}{40} } \times100$

$=\frac{5x}{1400} \times \frac{40}{x} \times100$

$=\frac{200}{1400} \times100$

$=\frac{1}{7} \times100$

$=14.285714285714$

Answer:

a=21.2

n=√29

Step-by-step explanation:

$90+68.2+a=180$

$a+158.2=180$

$a=21.2$

$2^2+5^2=n^2$

$4+25=n^2$

$n^2=29$

$n=\sqrt{29}$
