Answer: $9.91

Step-by-step explanation: The correct answer is $9.91 for the jeans. This is calculated by divided the total paid ($10.11) by 1.02, which represents the cost of the jeans + the 2% interest. 10.11 / 1.02 = $9.91.

You can then double check you work by calculating the 2% interest rate of the jeans. $9.91 x 2% = $ .20. The total is $9.91 for the jeans plus $ .20 for the tax, for a total of $10.11, which is the amount in the original problem.

Julio is paid 1.4 times his normal hourly rate for each hour he works over 32 hours in a week. Last week he worked 43 hours and
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

r = \$14.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Normal Hour = 32 hours

Overtime = Hours above 32

Rate for Overtime = 1.4 times normal rate

Earnings = $535.62

Required

Determine the normal hour pay

First, we need to determine the hours worked overtime.

This is:

Overtime = 43 - 32

Overtime = 11

The equation that binds all the parameters is:

Earnings = Normal\ Hour * Normal\ Rate + Overtime * Overtime\ Rate

This gives:

535.62 = 21 * r + 11 * 1.4r

535.62 = 21r + 15.4r

535.62 = 36.4r

Solve for r

r = 535.62/36.4

r = \$14.71

Find the height of a triangle with an area of 42 square inches and base of 7 inches. Use the formula for the area of a triangle
disa [49]
A= 1/2bh

fill in formula with known numbers

42= 1/2(7)h
multiply numerators on right side

42= (1*7)/2h

42= 7/2h
divide both sides by 7/2

42 ÷ 7/2= h
to divide fractions, multiply by reciprocal/inverse of 7/2

42 * 2/7= h
multiply numerators

(42 * 2)/7= h

84/7= h

12 inches= h


ANSWER: The height is 12 inches.

Hope this helps! :)
