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.

disa [49]

Answer:

August made the recipe using the correct ratios

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Sally uses 6 cups of lemonade for every 8 cups of fruit punch

so

using proportion

Find out the number of cups of fruit punch for 15 cups of lemonade

Let

x ----> the cups of fruit punch

$\frac{6}{8}=\frac{15}{x}\\ \\x=8*15/6\\ \\x= 20\ cups\ fruit\ punch$

The total cups of liquid is the sum of the cups of lemonade plus the cups of fruit punch

so

$15+20=35\ cups$

therefore

August made the recipe using the correct ratios
