Carlos has received a 9% salary increase. If he now earns $654 per week, what was his salary before the increase.?

1 answer:

6 0

So let's say he was earring x before his raise. That means that:
x times 1.09 = 654 (1.09 represents 100% (this is the 1.0) of his original salary plus 9% (this is the .09) his raise.
So,
1.09x = 654; now divide both sides by 1.09 to isolate and solve for x, and you get x = $600.

Give an example of this when adding two rationalnumbers with different signs and provide the product.

kolezko [41]

ANSWER:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{5}+-\frac{8}{3}=-\frac{28}{15} \\ \frac{4}{5}\cdot-\frac{8}{3}=-\frac{32}{15} \end{gathered}$

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Rational numbers are all numbers that can be expressed as a fraction, that is, as the quotient of two whole numbers.

Therefore, an example would be:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{5}\text{ and - }\frac{8}{3} \\ \text{adding} \\ \frac{4}{5}+-\frac{8}{3}=\frac{4}{5}-\frac{8}{3} \\ \frac{4}{5}-\frac{8}{3}=\frac{4\cdot3-5\cdot8}{5\cdot3}=\frac{12-40}{15}=-\frac{28}{15} \\ \text{ product} \\ \frac{4}{5}\cdot-\frac{8}{3}=-\frac{4\cdot8}{5\cdot3}=-\frac{32}{15} \end{gathered}$
