How to factor the expression 24+8y-16w ?

1 answer:

8 0

The best thing to do here is to find a common factor in all 3.
24, 8 and 16 all have 8 in common- therefore, this will be outside the bracket
You then need to divide everything in the equation by 8, to find out what will go inside the bracket.
24/8= 3
8y/8= y
16w/8= 2w
Therefore, these go inside the bracket.
The factorisation os 24+8y-16w is 8(3+y-2w)
Hope this helps :)

Your take home pay is $1500 and you have 22% withheld in taxes. What is your gross pay?

We have been given that the take home pay is $1500 and 22% is withheld as taxes.

Let us assume that the gross pay is x dollars. Therefore, take home pay must be 78% of x because 22% of the pay is withheld as taxes, so you get to take home only 78% of the gross pay.

Since we have been given that take home pay is $1500 and it is 78% of the total gross pay. Therefore, we can set up an equation:

$78\%\text{ of }x=1500\\\frac{78}{100}x=1500\\0.78x=1500\\x=\frac{1500}{0.78}\\x=\$1923.08$
