1. Divide the target number of shirts, 12,600 by the company's rate of making the shirts. That is,
number of hours = 12,600 shirts/ (1200 shirts/6 hours)
= 63 hours
2. Determine the number of workdays for them to complete the shirts by dividing 63 hours by 9 hours/workday. This will give us an answer of 7 workdays.
The price of the sweater was reduced by 40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; Cost before reduction was $20. The cost after reduction was 12$. Cost reduced= cost before reduction - cost after reduction
Cost reduced= $20 - $12 = $8
Step 2; We must find how much of the cost was reduced from the initial cost i.e. how much $8 is to $20. To do this we must convert it into a percentage. We divide the $8 with the $20 to get a value. This value must be multiplied with a 100 to be converted into a percentage.
Cost by which sweater was reduced=
* 100 = 0.4 * 100 = 40
So the price of the sweater was reduced from $20 to $8 which equates to a reduction in 40%.
<em><u>Question:</u></em>
<em>Mrs. Magdalino kept records on how much she spent on gasoline and the maintenance of her car. She found that it cost $485 to drive 500 mi in a month.</em>
<em>a) Find the cost per mile. Write an equation that relates the cost c for gasoline and maintenance of a car to the number of miles m the car is driven.</em>
<em>b) Use the equation to find the cost for driving 1200 miles.</em>
<em>c) About how many miles are driven for a cost of $820?</em>
<em><u>Answer:</u></em>
a)
$485/500mi = <u><em>$0.97/mi</em></u>
c = cost
m = miles driven
cost per miles driven = cost / mile driven = <u><em>c/m</em></u>
b)
(1200 mi)*($0.97/mi) = <u><em>$1164</em></u>
c)
(x miles)*($0.97/mi) = $820
*divide both sides by $0.97/mi
x miles = $820/($0.97/mi)
<u><em>x = 845.36 miles</em></u>

I believe the answer is 80 out of the 200 pay less than $5
hope this helps somehow
