Answer:
He must work 52 days to pay for a single ticket.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved using proportions.
Per hour:
Joel earns $7.25 per hour, 20% of which is deducted for taxes. So without taxes, in each hour, he earns 100%-20% of 80% of this, so 0.8*7.25 = $5.8.
Per day:
He works 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, so 8 hours a day.
For each hour, he earns $5.8.
So in a day, he makes 8*5.8 = $46.4
How many days he must work:
The ticket costs $2400.
He makes $46.4 a day.
So, to buy a ticket, he needs to work:
2400/46.4 = 51.7 days
Rounding up
He must work 52 days to pay for a single ticket.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Exterior angle property: Exterior angles equals the sum of remote angles
19x - 18 = 7x + 1 + 10x - 9
19x - 18 = <u>7x + 10x</u> + <u>1 - 9 </u> {Combine like terms}
19x - 18 = 17x - 8 {Subtract 17x from both sides}
19x - 17x - 18 = -8
2x - 18 = -8 {Add 18 to both sides}
2x = -8 + 18
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x = 5
Answer: x = 8
