160 grams of zinc. 760/ 19 is equal to 40 so then we’d want to multiple 4 x 40 because that’s how much were growing by so then zinc is 160 grams
Hello!
17,000 * 85% = 14,450
85% of $17,000 is $14,450.
Answer:
450 people paid the discounted fare and 750 people paid the regular fare.
Step-by-step explanation:
let r be regular fares paid and d be discounted fares paid
Total fares = 0.8r + 0.4d = 780
Since 1200 people paid the fares,
r + d = 1200 = Total people
Rearrange this formula:
r = 1200 - d
Substitute r into Total Fares formula
Total fares = 0.8r + 0.4d
780 = 0.8(1200-d) + 0.4d
780 = 960 - 0.8d + 0.4d
780 = 960 - 0.4d
0.4d = 180
d = 450
Sub d=450 into Total people formula
r + d = 1200 = Total people
r + 450 = 1200
r = 1200-450
r = 750
450 people paid the discounted fare and 750 people paid the regular fare.
Let's re-read the statement and question, and then break it down.
He charges a flat fee of $38, plus $22 per hour.
A flat fee of $38 is only a one-time pay, and will never be paid for again.
This means if after two hours, we only add $38 once overall, never more.
Every hour that goes by, he earns $22 each hour.
Now that we've broken this down, we can make an equation.
Let's do 1 hour.
1(22) + 38 = 22 + 38, = 60.
For 1 hour he earns $60.
Let's do 2 hours.
2(22) + 38 = 44 + 38, = 82.
For 2 hours he earns $82.
Let's do 3 hours.
3(22) + 38 = 66 + 38, = 104.
For 3 hours he earns $104.
Let's do 4 hours.
4(22) + 38 = 88 + 38, = 126.
For 4 hours he earns $126.
This is a pattern.
Now let's do 8 hours, which is the main question, "How much does he make in 8 hours?".
8(22) + 38 = 176 + 38, = 214.
For 8 hours he earns $214.
I hope this helps!
Do you have the rest of the question?
