I'd say you make 90$ an hour.

$75.00 + (20% x 75)

Rewritten 20% as .2

75 + ( .2 x 75 )

75 + 15 =

90

OR

75 x 1.2

A publisher needs to send many books to a local book retailer and will send the books in a combination of small and large boxes.

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

5 large boxes

3 small boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Create two equations to represent the problem.

let "a" be the number of small boxes

let "b" be the number of large boxes

20a + 40b = 260 This equation shows the numbers of books

a + b = 8 This equations shows the number of boxes

Solve the system of equations (solve for a and b). We can solve using the substitution method.

Rearrange a + b = 8 to isolate one of the variables.

a = 8 - b New equation that represents "a"

Since we know an equation for "a", we can substitute what "a" equals into the other equation. There will only be one variable in the equation, so we can solve by isolating. Isolate by doing reverse operations.

Substitute "a" for 8 - b

20a + 40b = 260

20(8 - b) + 40b = 260 Distribute 20 over the brackets by multiplying

160 - 20b + 40b = 260 Collect like terms (numbers with same variables)

160 + 20b = 260 Start isolating "b". Subtract 160 from both sides

20b = 260 - 160

20b = 100 Divide both sides by 20

b = 5 Number of large boxes

Substitute "b" for 5 in the simplest equation

a + b = 8

a + 5 = 8 Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate "a"

a = 8 - 5

a = 3 Number of small boxes

Therefore there were 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes sent.

One day in the playground,the ratio of the number of boy to the number of girl is 3:5 later 6girls come, 9boy leave, the ratio o

choli [55]

Answer:

The number of boys are 18 and the number of girls are 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of number of girls to the boys = 3 : 5

Let the number of girls is g and boys is b initially.

b : g = 3 : 5

5 b = 3 g ..... (1)

Now, girls are 6 + g and boys are b - 9

So, the ratio is

(b - 9) : (6 + g) = 1 : 4

4 b - 36 = 6 + g

4 b - g = 42 .... (2)

From ( 1 ) and ( 2 )

$4 b - \frac {5 b}{3}= 42\\\\\frac{7 b }{3} = 42\\\\b = 18$

And , g = 5 x 18/3 = 30

So, the number of boys are 18 and the number of girls are 30.
