6. Leo earns $16/h as a gardener in a city
1 answer:
a) He will earn $584 for working 36 hours.
b) He will earn $656 for working 39 hours.
c) He will earn $728 for working 42 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount per hour = $16
Time and a half means 1.5 times more than the original payment.
Therefore, above 35 hours, the earning for one hour,
Extra time per hour = 16*1.5 = $24
A) 36 h
For the first 35 hours, he will get $16 per hour, therefore,
Amount of 35 hours =
Amount of one hour = $24 (as calculated above)
Total = 560+24 = $584
He will earn $584 for working 36 hours.
B) 39 h
39 h = 35h + 4h
Amount of 35 hours = $560
Amount of extra 4 hours = $24*4 = $96
Total = 560+72 = $656
He will earn $656 for working 39 hours.
C) 42 h
42 h = 35h + 7h
Amount of 35 hours = $560
Amount of extra 7 hours = 24*7 = $168
Total = 560+168 = $728
He will earn $728 for working 42 hours.

Our goal here is to somehow "surgically remove" the repeating part of the number, so let's start by putting the original value in a variable and messing around with it a bit.
We'll let . We want to cut the
bit off completely, so let's create the scalpel that'll let us do that. If

is where we'll be making the cut. Mathematically, a "cut" is almost always shorthand for subtraction, so let's see what our operation (cutting
off of

The operation was a success! We can now simply divide either side by 9 to find , which, when reduced by dividing the numerator and denominator by 3, gives us
