Mechanic A worked for 15 hours and mechanic B worked for 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Per hour charges of mechanic A = $95

Per hour charges of mechanic B = $75

Total hours worked = 20

Total amount charged = $1800

Let,

x represent the number of hours of mechanic A

y represent the number of hours of mechanic B

According to given statement;

x+y=20          Eqn 1

95x+75y=1800   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 95

95(x+y=20)\\95x+95y=1900\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(95x+95y)-(95x+75y)=1900-1800\\95x+95y-95x-75y=100\\20y=100

Dividing both sides by 20

\frac{20y}{20}=\frac{100}{20}\\y=5

Putting y=5 in Eqn 1

x+5=20\\x=20-5\\x=15

Mechanic A worked for 15 hours and mechanic B worked for 5 hours.

How do you solve 5 3/7 ÷ 5/11
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

11 33/35

Step-by-step explanation:

5 3/7 = 5 × 7/7 + 3/7 = 35 + 37 = 38/7

38/7 ÷ 5/11 = 38/7 × 11/5 = 38 × 11/7 × 5 = 418/35

418/35 = 11 33/35

Hope this helps!

Alan bought a suit on sale for $208. This price was 35% less than the original price.
algol [13]

Answer:

280.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 100% is the full amount, and it is 35% off you add 35 to the 100. So you get 1.35. You finally multiply by 207 and get 280.8
