A. W = 10x

B. S = 10x + 15y...or S = 10x + 15(x - 40)

C. 10(40) + 15y = 490
      400 + 15y = 490
      15y = 490 - 400
      15y = 90
      y = 90/15
      y = 6

so he worked 40 regular hrs and 6 overtime hrs

Last year, Shantell bought a car for $24,000. The current value of the car is $21,000. Find the percent decrease in the value of
Morgarella [4.7K]
<span>Last year, Shantell bought a car for 24 000 dollars. It decreases to 21 000 dollars this current year.
Let’s find for the percentage that it decreased.
=> in 24 000 the 50% is 12 000 as we all know since it’s divided by 2. So meaning, the possible answer is less than 50%.
=> now 25% of 24 000 is 6 000, and the amount that we’re looking is 3000, thus, the answer is 12.5%
=> 24 000 * 0.125 = 3000
=> 24 000 – 3000 = 21 000</span>

Paul,Linda,and Aaron make homemade cards. Paul can make 1 card for every 3 cards Linda makes. Linda can make 3 cards for every 2
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Linda makes 72 more cards than Paul

during the week

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know how many cards Linda makes than Paul during the week.

We proceed as follows;

From the question;

If Paul makes 1 card, then Linda has made three

Now let’s get their relationship with Aaron;

If Aaron makes 2 cards , Linda has made three

Now since Aaron made 72 cards, Let’s say Linda has made x cards

Let’s get the value of x now

To get the value of x, we simply cross multiply;

2 - 3

72 - x

2 * x = 3 * 72

x = (3 * 72)/2 = 108 cards

Now recall , for every 3 cards of Linda, Paul made only 1;

So the number of cards Paul will make if Linda makes 108 will be 108/3 = 36

So the number of more cards that Linda makes than Paul during the week will be ; 108 -36 = 72 cards
