Kiran earns $8.50 per hour.

Let x represent Kiran's pay.  He worked 23 hours last week, so his pay would be given by 23x.

Kiran's cousin is paid 30% more.  30% = 30/100 = 0.3.  We add this to the x per hour that Kiran is paid:

x + 0.3x = 1.3x

This is multiplied by 27, since Kiran's cousin works 27 hours:
27(1.3x)

This gives us the following equation:
23x + 27(1.3x) = 493.85
23x + 35.1x = 493.85
58.1x = 493.85

Divide both sides by 58.1:
58.1x/58.1 = 493.85/58.1
x = 8.5

Thus Kiran earns 8.50 per hour.

Answer:

The answer to your question is -27/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide         3/5  ÷  - 4/9

Process

1.- Just multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction.                                      

                    3 x - 9 = -27

2.- Multiply the denominator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second fraction.

                    5 x 4 = 20

3.- Join both results

                               -27/20

The line represented by the equation y=-3/2x is translated up 3 units.
kati45 [8]

Answer:

(0, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

     In slope intercept form, the y-intercept is the "b" or, in an example:

           y = mx + b

     - m is the slope

     - b is the y-intercept

     In our first equation, the b is 0 (y=-3/2x, there is no +/- b, so it is 0). If we add positive 3 (up 3 units) then the y-intercept will be 3. This, in a point, is shown with (0, 3) because the y-intercept is where the line hits the y-axis when x is 0.

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)
