The equation is y=6.66666667x. This is because you get paid $6.66666667 per hour so you multiply that by the number of hours to get the total paid!

I need the answer for this

Svetach [21]

Answer:

535.9 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 360° in a circle, and 240° is 2/3 of 360°, we can say that the area of the bolded sector is <em>2/3 the area of the whole circle</em>. The area of a circle with a radius of r is πr², or approximately 3.14r², so the area of the whole circle is ≈ 3.14(16)² = 3.14(256) = 803.84 ft². Taking 2/3 of this gets us 803.84 * (2/3) ≈ 535.9 ft²

eduard

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Borrowed $50 from your cousin. You pay him $8 and must pay him back within 12 weeks.

Let x be the amount paid on each week.

$50-8\leq 12x$

$50-12x\leq 8$

You can buy bags of pretzels in packages of 12. You $50 to spend, but want to have at least $8 left.

Let x be the amount of each package.

$50-12x\geq 8$

You owe your sister $50. You plan to pay her $12 a week till you owe her less than $8.

Let x be the amount paid on each week.

$50-12x$

You have $50 to spend on clothes, but you need to save at least $8 for bus fare. You plan to spend the rest on shirts that cost $12 each (including tax).

Let x be the number of shirts

$50-12x>8$

Therefore, the correct option is D.

A dog trainer has 104 ft of fencing that will be used to create a rectangular work area for dogs. If the trainer wants to enclos

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

36 ft by 16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, you need to find dimensions of a rectangle such that the perimeter is 104 ft and the area is 576 ft. The perimeter is twice the sum of length and width, so the sum of length and width is 52 ft.

The area is the product of length and width, so if w represents the width, we have ...

w(52 -w) = 576

w² -52w = -576 . . . . . eliminate parentheses, multiply by -1

w² -52w +26² = 26² -576 . . . . . . complete the square

(w -26)² = 676 -576 = 100

w = 26 ±√100 = {16, 36}

If the width is the short dimension, it is 16 feet. Then the length is 36 feet.

cara works at a fine jewelry store and earns a commission on her total sales for the week. her weekly paycheck was in the amount

Gekata [30.6K]

Cara's rate of commission is 12%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Paycheck = $6500

Salary = $1000

Commission = Paycheck - Salary

Commission = 6500-1000 = $5500

Total sales for the week = $45000

Commission rate = $\frac{Commission}{Total\ Sales}*100$

$Commission\ rate=\frac{5500}{45000}*100\\\\Commission\ rate=\frac{550000}{45000}\\\\ Commission\ rate=12.22\%$

Rounding off to nearest whole number.

Commission rate = 12%

Cara's rate of commission is 12%.
