Move the decimal point over one & multiply it by $650.00. The answer is the rate of increase in salary. Take that answer & add it to her current earnings of $650.00. The answer to that will be the earnings after the increase.
$650.00 x .05= $32.50
650.00 + $32.50= $682.50
The answer is s < 3/5
An alternative form would be s < 0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing we have to do before we can actually do the problem is turn the words into a math equation.
If we use <em>x </em>as our "number," we see that "The sum of a number and 2" can also be written as <em>x</em>+2. The word "Is" almost always means (=), so now we have (<em>x</em>+2) = . The very last part, "6 less than twice that number," means 2<em>x - </em>6.
So, our whole equation is, (<em>x </em>+ 2) = (2<em>x </em>- 6), which simplifies to -<em>x </em>= -8, or
<em>x</em> = 8
