A house on the market was valued at $245,000. After several years, the value increased by 9%. By how much did the house's value
aniked [119]

We are given that a house had a value of $245000 and its value was increased by 9%. To determine how much is this value increase in dollars we need to multiply the value of the house by 9/100. We get this:

245000\times\frac{9}{100}=22050

Therefore, the increase in dollars is $22050. Now, to determine the current value we need to add the increase to the previous value, we get:

245000+22050=267050

Therefore, the current value of the house is $267050.

On the grid draw the graph of y = 3x + 2 for values of x + 2 for values of x from -2 to 2
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The required graph is shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation y=3x+2

We need to draw the graph of the equation.

Put x=0 in the above equation.

y=3(0)+2

y=2

The coordinate is (0,2).

Put y=0 in the given equation.

0=3x+2

-2=3x

x=\frac{-2}{3}

The coordinate is (\frac{-2}{3},0).

Now draw the graph by using the above coordinates.

The required graph is shown below.

xxMikexx [17]

Answer: He is paid $90 last weekend.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount he earns per hour = $6

If he works on Saturday, he is paid time and a quarter .

Amount would be

6\times 1.25=\$7.5

If he works on Sunday, he is paid time and a half.

Amount would be

6\times 1.5=\$9

Number of hours he worked on Saturday = 6 hours

Number of hours he worked on Sunday = 5 hours

So, Total amount he is paid last weekend altogether is given by

6\times 7.5+5\times 9\\\\=\$90

Hence, he is paid $90 last weekend.
