Answer:
C. Hiring part-time employees to save on costs.
Step-by-step explanation:
The best example of a business economic decision in this question is hiring part-time employees to save on costs. Out of the options given, this is the only one that takes into account the economics of the business, or in other words, the money that the business is making. The rest of the options deal with topics such as customer service and politics, which have little impact on the economics of the business.
Answer:
$95, $115, $135, $155
Step-by-step explanation:
If the first person gets x dollars:
the next person gets 20 more, so x + 20 dollars
the next person gets x + 40 dollars
and the last person gets x + 60 dollars
We add all these allocations together, and we get $500
x + (x + 20) + (x + 40) + (x + 60) = 500
Combine like terms
4x + 120 = 500
Subtract 120 on both sides
4x = 380
Divide by 4 on both sides
x = 95
So the first person gets $95.
The second person must get $115
The third must get $135
And the fourth must get $155
Checking our work:
95 + 115 + 135 + 155 = 500
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: x = 9/5
Discussion
:
The quotient is undefined when the denominator = 0. i.e. 5x - 9 = 0
5x - 9 = 0
5x = 9 (add 9 to both sides)
x = 9/5 (divide both sides by 5)
