a) 170.00 =8n -30
200= 8n
n = 200/8 = 25 items
b) since the expenses increased the profits would decrease
profit = 8(25)-40 = 200-40 = 160
170-160 = 10.00
profit decreased by $10.00
Answer: 12 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Working together, it takes Sam, Jenna, and Francisco two hours to paint one room.
When Sam works alone, he can paint one room in 6 hours. When Jenna works alone, she can paint one room in 4 hours.
Let 't' be the time taken by Francisco to paint one room on his own.
Then , we have
Rate of work of Sam +Rate of work of Jenna + Rate of work of Francisco =Rate of work they all do together

i.e. 
i.e. 
i.e. 
i.e. 
i.e. 
i.e. 
i.e. t= 12
Hence, Francisco would take 12 hours to paint one room on his own.
A = -11
B= -12
This is because of how calculations work in negatives. Because they are both negative they work similarly to addition
D because 1.29 plus 2.75 is 4.04(the money that he used to make the case) and subtract that with $12 and you get $7.96 as the profit.
