Answer:
$173.90
Step-by-step explanation:
The most obvious way to answer this question is to multiply $9.40 by 18.5
This would result in 173.90.
But I realize nobody like to deal with decimals in a multiplication problem, so here's the way I would do it (<em>especially if you don't have a calculator!</em>)
The strategy is to break it down!
Multiply $9.40 x 18 hours to start, since this is easier.

So, that's $169.20 for 18 hours of work.
We aren't finished, because Abdel worked for 18.5 hours.
So, what half of $9.40?

= 4.7
-or-
$4.70
So, knowing that Abdel makes $4.70 in half an hour, lets just add that onto the $169.20 we got earlier.
169.2 + 4.7 = 173.9
-or-
$173.90 for 18.5 hours of work!
First, you know that 3/4 = .75. Now we can distribute. multipy -10*.75. Then multiply .75*2/5. Add those two answers together to get your final answer.
Answer:
(3) 2(3x - 5)(3x + 5)
Step-by-step explanation:

$365 increased to $428
365/428=1.17
which translates to an 117% increase
For this case we can make the following rule of three:
23000 -------> 100%
x --------------> 180%
Clearing the value of x we have:
x = (180/100) * (23000)
x = 41400
Answer:
you would expect about:
a) 41,400 responses
