Jan has 500 pieces of paper. She prints as many copies as possible of a 16-page report. How many pieces of paper are left?
1 answer:
Jan has 500 pages of paper.
She has a report of 16 pages.
But a report is printed on both sides of the page.
So the complete report shall be printed on 8 pages.
Now as the total pages are 500
We shall divide 500 by 8 and convert the simplified fraction to mixed no.
Now
So we shall be able to print 62 complete copies of the report which shall use 62 × 8 = 496 pages.
Number of pages left = 500 - 496 = 4 pages.

The complete question implies that we define an inequality that represents the relationship between the number of hours worked in a week and the weekly sales
The inequality that relates the number of hours to the weekly sales is:
We make use of the following representation:
weekly sales from cars.
hours worked in a week
His weekly salary is then calculated as:
Salary (S) = Earnings per week + Commission * Sales from car
So, we have:
Express percentage as decimal
Assume he works for y hours in a week.
His hourly rate is:
--- i.e. weekly salary divided by number of hours
For this rate to be at least , the following condition must be true
--- i.e. is hourly rate must be greater than or equal 35
So, we have:
Multiply both sides by y
