A worker earns 9 dollars per hour for a regular workday and $13.50 per hour for additional hours. if the worker was paid $114.75

for an 11-hour workday, what is the length of a regular workday?

Let us assume that the number of hours of regular work day to be "X". Since the total number of hours worked is 11, the additional hours that the worker put in would be "11-X"

Now, we form the equation to solve for X.

The wage for a regular hours is $9 for X hours worked which would make the pay = 9X

The wage for additional "11-X" hours is $13.50 which would make the pay = (11-X)*13.50

The total the worker was paid for 11 hours is 114.75, so the equation would be

9X +(11-X)*13.50 = 114.75

9X +148.5-13.50X = 11.75

4.5X = 33.75

X = 7.5

So, the length of a regular workday is 7.5 hours

Jake tossed a paper cup 50 times and recorded how it landed. the table shows the results:
Darya [45]

The experimental probability of each event is as follows:

  • Landing open side up = 1/50 = 0.02 = 2%.
  • Landing closed side up = 5/50 = 1/10 = 0.1 = 10%.
  • Landing on its side = 44/50 = 0.88 = 88%.

The experimental probability of an event is the ratio of the number of outcomes that favored the event to the total number of outcomes in the experiment.

In the question, we are given that Jake tossed a paper cup 50 times and recorded the position how it landed, which is shown in the table:

Open-sided up: 1

Closed side up 5

On the side: 44.

We are asked to determine the experimental probability of each outcome.

The number of outcomes, when the landing is open-sided up is 1.

The number of outcomes, when the landing is closed-sided up is 5.

The number of outcomes, when the landing is on the side up is 44.

The total number of times the experiment took place is 50.

Thus, the experimental probability of each event is as follows:

  • Landing open side up = 1/50 = 0.02 = 2%.
  • Landing closed side up = 5/50 = 1/10 = 0.1 = 10%.
  • Landing on its side = 44/50 = 0.88 = 88%.

Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measure is 180 degrees. If one of the two supplementary angles measures 85 degr
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

95 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Their sum is 180. You will subtract 85 to get the other half of the whole.

180 - 85 = 95

The other angle is 95 degrees.
