Pam works a 52 hours in a week. Considering that a normal work week is 40 hours and paid at $1470 per hour and overtime is paid

Bezzdna [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

they way it is written, she has one of the best paying jobs in the world : $1470 per hour ...

but I guess it is really $14.70 per hour, right ?

that is then her basic wage : $14.70 per hour for 40 hours = 14.7 × 40 = $588.

her overtime rate is then 14.7×1.25 (one time and a quarter) = 18.375 ≈ $18.38

and she gets that rate for all hours beyond the basic 40 hours, so, 52-40 = 12 hours.

12×18.38 = $220.56

or if you need it totally precise

12×18.375 = $220.50

in total, her gross wage for that week is then

588 + 220.56 = $808.56

or totally precise with unrounded hourly rates

588 + 220.5 = $808.50

which would create a mean hourly rate

808.56/52 = $15.54923077... per hour ≈ $15.55 per hour

or

808.5/52 = $15.54807692... per hour ≈ $15.55 per hour

many payroll systems do the rounding of the hourly rates and then calculate the total amount (as the first option here). some others keep the full decimal positions in the calculation and then only round the total (as the second option here).

so, it is the question what your teacher expects here. I cannot tell from the description.

Last year, the average American used 167 disposable water bottles (16.9 oz or 0.132 gallons). If the cost of 1 gallon of tap wat

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The money that could be saved by drinking tap water is $165.46.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of 1 bottle of water = $1.00

Number of bottles consumed = 167

Volume of water used in 1 bottle = 0.132 gallons

So, volume of water used in 167 bottles = 167 × 0.132 = 22.04 gallons

Cost of 1 gallon of tap water = 7 cents = $0.07

In order to determine the money saved using tap water, we first find the cost of 167 bottles.

Using unitary method,

1 bottle cost = $1.00

167 bottles cost = Number of bottles × Cost of 1 bottle

= 167 × $1.00 = $167.00

Now, 167 dollars is spent for consuming 22.04 gallons of water.

Now, cost of 1 gallon of tap water = $0.07

So, cost of 22.04 gallons of tap water = 22.04 × 0.07 = $1.54

Therefore, the money saved by drinking tap water is given as:

Money saved = Money spent in bottles for 22.04 gallons - Money spent in tap water for the same volume

Money saved = $167.00 - $1.54 = $165.46

Hence, the money that could be saved by drinking tap water is $165.46.

A rectangle sand box has a length of 5 and 1/3 feet and a width of 3 and 3/4 feet. What is the perimeter?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Perimeter of rectangle = ⇒ $18\frac{1}{6}$ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of a rectangular sand box = $5\frac{1}{3}\ feet$

Width of the box = $3\frac{3}{4}\ feet$

Perimeter of a rectangle = $2(l+w)$

where $l$ represents length of rectangle and $w$ represents width of the rectangle.

Substituting values given for length and width.

Perimeter of sand box = $2(5\frac{1}{3}+3\frac{3}{4})\ feet$

Simplifying by adding fractions:

⇒ $2(5+3+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{4})\ feet$ (Adding whole numbers and fractions separately)

⇒ $2(8+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{4})$ feet

Whole number 8 can be written as $\frac{8}{1}$

⇒ $2(\frac{8}{1}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{4})$ feet

To add fractions we take LCD for the denominators 3,4,1.

LCD for 3 and 4 = 12 as its the least common multiple of 3,4,1.

Making denominators =12 by multiplying numerator an denominator with the corresponding numbers

⇒ $2(\frac{8\times 12}{1\times 12}+\frac{1\times 4}{3\times 4}+\frac{3\times 3}{4\times 3})$ feet

⇒ $2(\frac{96}{12}+\frac{4}{12}+\frac{9}{12})$ feet

Then we simply add numerators.

⇒ $2(\frac{96+4+9}{12})$ feet

⇒ $2(\frac{109}{12})$ feet

⇒ $2\times \frac{109}{12}$ feet

⇒ $\frac{218}{12}$ feet

Writing fraction as a mixed number by dividing 218 by 12 and writing quotient as whole number and remainder as numerator with divisor as denominator.

⇒ $18\frac{2}{12}$ feet
