So,
All you have to do is find the total labor cost and put it over the revenue.
We have two workers each earning $8/hr. (lousy), and they work 40 hrs./week.
2 * $8 = $16/hr.
$16/hr. * 40 hrs. = $640

Cross out zeros.

Simplify.



Convert the denominator to 100.


=
32%
The labor cost is 32% of the revenue.
Answer:
its option C
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
w= 9
Step-by-step explanation:

Square both sides:
-4w +61= (w -4)²

Expand:
-4w +61= w² -2(w)(4) +4²
-4w +61= w² -8w +16
Simplify:
w² -8w +16 +4w -61= 0
w² -4w -45= 0
Factorize:
(w -9)(w +5)= 0
w -9= 0 or w +5= 0
w= 9 or w= -5 (reject)
Note:
-5 is rejected since we are only taking the positive value of the square root here. If the negative square root is taken into consideration, then w= -5 would give us -9 on both sides of the equation.
<u>Why </u><u>do </u><u>we </u><u>use </u><u>negative </u><u>square </u><u>root?</u>
When solving an equation such as x²= 4,
we have to consider than squaring any number removes the negative sign i.e., the result of a squared number is always positive.
In the case of x²= 4, x can be 2 or -2. Thus, whenever we introduce a square root, a '±' must be used.
However, back to our question, we did not introduce the square root so we should not consider the negative square root value.

and surely you know how much that is.
