Answer:

Salary before pay raise = 43,478.26 (approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Janice new salary = 45,000

Pay raise = 3.5% = 0.035

Let the previous pay be x

Now according to given conditions:

0.035* x = 45,000 - x

Adding x on both sides we get:

0.035 x + x =  45,000 - x + x

1.035x =  45,000

Dividing both sides by 1.035 we get:

1.035/1.035 x =  45,000/1.035

x = 43,478.26

So, the salary before pay raise was 43,478 approx

proof:

Raise in salart = 3.5% of 43,478.26 = 1,521.74

New salary = old salary + raise in salary

New salary = 43,478.26 + 1,521.74

New salary = 45,000

Hence proved.

I hope it will help you!

I'm assuming you mean a 3.5 percent pay rise.

So, Janice current salary is 103.5% of her previous salary:

\dfrac{103.5}{100}x=45000 \iff x = \dfrac{45000\cdot 100}{103.5}=43478.26

You have two summer jobs. In the first job, you work 25 hours per week and earn $7.75 per hour. In the second job, you earn $6.2
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

3.4 Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

25 x $7.75 = $193.75

$250 - $193.75 = $21.25

$21.25/$6.25 = 3.4 hours

You must work 3.4 hours at the second job.

This is the example my teacher used. However, I still don't understand what makes the integers even or odd. I was hoping someone
kow [346]

Answer:

<h2>Here's what makes an integer odd:</h2>
  • It is NOT a multiple of 2.
  • When divided by 2, the quotient would be a decimal or have a remainder or fraction.

<h2>Here's what makes an integer even:</h2>
  • It is a multiple of 2.
  • When divided by 2, the quotient has a whole number.

<em>The odd numbers from one to 10 are: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.</em>

<em>The even numbers from one to 10 are: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. </em>

  • With big numbers, if it ends with any of the odd numbers from one to ten, listed above, it would be odd. This goes for the same with even.
<h2>With the x + 2, x + 4, etc:</h2>
  • An odd number and even number has a pattern....

[odd, even, odd, even, odd...] [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

  • So, if x was an odd number, adding it by 2, 4, 6, etc. will result in another odd number.

Here's an example:

x= 17\\x + 2 = ?\\(17) + 2 = 19

<em>See how x is an odd number and the sum of the number and two makes another odd number? </em>

The same can go with an even number:

x=2\\x + 6 = ?\\(2) + 6= 8

<em>See how x is an even number and the sum of the number and six makes another even number? </em>

I hope my answer helps you understand even and odd numbers.

Can you check my paper? If I got any wrong please tell me the correct answers.
djyliett [7]

There is a lot to go over here. Unfortunately it looks like you got a lot incorrect. I'll focus on two problems. Hopefully these examples below will help correct the other mistakes.

---------------------------------------------------------

Problem 7)

We have the starting value be 20 and the ending value be 11. Subtract the values: (end)-(start) = 11 - 20 = -9. The negative indicates we have a drop or decrease.

We'll focus on the positive version of this number, so 9. Divide this value over the starting amount 20 to get 9/20 = 0.45 = 45%

So going from 20 miles to 11 miles is a decrease of 45%

Answer to problem 7 is: 45%

---------------------------------------------------------

Problem 13)

An increase of 300% means we added 3 times the original amount onto the original amount.

We take 300% of 25 to get 3*25 = 75

Which is then added onto 25 to get 25+75 = 100

Answer to problem 13 is: 100
