Answer:
12 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
We we need to write equations to represent the situation in this problem.
x=weight of package
UPS cost=6+1+0.15(x-2)
UPS cost=6+1+0.15x-0.3
UPS cost=6.7+0.15x
FedEx cost=4+2+.25(x-2)
FedEx cost=4+2+0.25x-0.5
FedEx cost=5.5+0.25x
Next, we can set the two equations equal to each other to solve for x.
6.7+0.15x=5.5+0.25x
6.7+0.15x-5.5=5.5+0.25x-5.5
1.2+0.15x-0.15x=0.25x-0.15x
1.2/0.1=0.1x/0.1
x=12
It takes 12 pounds for the UPS and FedEx packages to cost the same amount to ship.
Shane:
8 x 3 = 24 Because it is 8h per day for 3 days. Per is like times
24h out of 36 24/36 GCF is 12 divide to and bottom by 12
24 / 12 is 2 36 / 12 is 3 2/3 Shane worked for 2/3 of 36h
Percentage: 100% / 3 (because there is 3 parts)= 33.333333333333
33.33333333333 x 2 (because it is there is 2 parts needed) = 66.6666666666%
Shane has worked for 66.6666666666% of 36 hours
Andrew:
4 x 6 = 24
Hey did you realise, the 24 is exactly the same! So the fraction would still be 2/3 of 36, and so on, there percentage is still the same, it's still 66.6666666666%
Answer: Both of Andrew and Shane has worked for the exact same time, therefore they have the exact same percentage <span />
That sounds correct to me.
