That person is getting $14.50 more. Since he gets a 5% increase from the set $290, you must multiply .05 (the percentage) with 290 (that person's original load payment). When you do so, you get $14.50 and that would be how much more the person is getting paid.
The answer is -25/3.
If you need it simplified let me know.
It takes 7 hours to mow 4 lawns
Therefore every hour, (4 ÷ 7) or 4/7 lawns are mowed. This gives the rate.
For 35 hours, 4/7 x 35 lawns are mowed.
=35 ÷ 7 = 5
= 4 × 5
= 20 lawns
The answer is a because if you divide 1000 by 2 you get 500 and the other ones you get a decimal.
15/3 + 4/3 = 19/3
All you have to do is subtract 4/3 from 19/3 to get 15/3
