Sorry if this is a bit confusing, but I hope I helped
1/4 of 8 is 2. So 2 of the cubicles are carpeted.
Let
x----------> the first mechanic rates
y----------> the second mechanic rates
we know that
x+y=165
15x+5y=1775
using a graph tool
see the attached figure
the solution is
x=95
y=70
the answer is
the rates of the first mechanic is 95the rates of the second mechanic is 70
X * .65 = 143
Divide both sides by .65.
x = 220
143 is 65% of 220.
To solve this, you can use this helpful equation:
=
Since you now have this equation, you can just plug in.
=
To find x you would cross multiply, multiply the x with 100 and the 15 with the 20%.
100x = 300
Now to find x you would just divide both sides by 100.
x=3
