Answer:

solution,

The population is reduced from 3000 to 2509 in the ratio 5:y

 $\frac{2500}{3000} = \frac{5}{y} \\ or \: 2500y = 15000 \\ or \: y = \frac{15000}{2500} \\ y = 6$ 

Hence,the ratio is 5:6.

hope this helps ....

Calculate the pay for the following day of a weekly time card given a wage of $12.50/hr.

Elenna [48]

The one day pay is $106.25 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table shown :

The timing shown in the morning is from 8:00 to 12:15
The number of hours worked in the morning = 4 hours 15 minutes.

It is given that, the pay is $12.5 per hour.

Therefore, the pay earned in the morning = No.of hours × pay per hour.

⇒ 4 hours × 12.5 = $50

⇒ (15 mins / 60 mins) × 12.5 = $3.125

⇒ 50+3.125

⇒ 53.125

The timing shown in the afternoon is from 8:00 to 12:15
The number of hours worked in the morning = 4 hours 15 minutes.

Therefore, the pay earned in the afternoon = No.of hours × pay per hour.

⇒ 4 hours × 12.5 = $50

⇒ (15 mins / 60 mins) × 12.5 = $3.125

⇒ 50+3.125

⇒ 53.125

The pay for 1 day = pay earned in the morning section + pay earned in the afternoon section.

⇒ 53.125 + 53.125

⇒ 106.25

∴ The one day pay is $106.25 rounded to the nearest hundredth.
