Hello!

Let's change it to an equation.

5x - 10 = 900

Switch the equation around

900 = 5x - 10

First add 10 from 900

900 + 10 = 910

5x = 910

Divide both sides by 5

\frac{5x}{5} =  \frac{910}{5}

\framebox{x = 182}

a construction company needs to remove 24 tons of dirt from a construction site. They can remove 3/8 tons of dirt each hour. How
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
Since each hour is 3/8 of a tone then, namely how many times does 3/8 go into 24?  well, is just their quotient.

\bf 24\div\cfrac{3}{8}\implies \cfrac{24}{1}\div\cfrac{3}{8}\implies \cfrac{24}{1}\cdot\cfrac{8}{3}\implies \cfrac{8}{1}\cdot \cfrac{8}{1}\implies 64

Please help me with this word problem!!!
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The number of customers needed to break even is

\simeq 6775.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rent per month = $ 7200

Rent per year, $ 7200 \times 12

                        = $ 86400 -------------(1)

Insurance per year = $ 4200 ---------(2)

Total  direct cost  for 2 servers (withoout  tax) per year,

= $ 2 \times 15 \times 8 \times 5 \times 50

= $ 60000

Total cost for helper ( without tax) per year,

= $ 4 \times 15 \times 5 \times \50

= $ 15000

Total cost for employees per year (without tax),

= $ (60000 +15000)  = $ 75000

Total cost per year for employees including tax,

$ \frac {(75000 \times (100 + 6.2 + 1.45)}{100}

= $ \frac {(75000 \times 107.65 }{100}

= $ 80737.5 -----------------------(3)

So,

total cost for running the restaurant (except food)

= (1) + (2) + (3) = $ (86400 + 4200 + 80737.5)

= $ 171337.5

Average total profit per customer,

= ( Average per customer payment - average cost of food per customer)

= $ (45.47 - 20.18)

= $ 25.29

So, total number of customer needed to break even,

= \frac {171337.5}{25.29}

\simeq   6775

What's a rational number between 7.7 and 7.9?
svet-max [94.6K]
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as the relationship between two integers. Fractions and decimals will either repeat or end. An example is 5. Maybe 7. 53573 is an example as well. So is 5/1, because 5 and 1 are both integers. so is 7.5, because 7 and 5 are both integers, and it ends (the numbers after the decimal doesn't keep going). Your answer is 7.8, because it ends.
