A business owner pays $1,200 per month in rent and a total of $120 per hour in employee salary for each hour the store is open.

On average, the store brings in $200 in net sales per hour.
Which equation can be solved to determine the break-even point if x represents the number of hours per month the store is open?

200x – 120x = 1,200
120x + 200x = 1,200
200x + 1,200 = 120x
120x – 1,200 = 200x

Answer:

200x - 120x = 1,200

Step-by-step explanation:

The break-even point is when the amount of money he spends equals the amount he earns.

Let's see how much he earns and how much he spends per month:

He earns $200 per hour. If x represents the number of hours per month, we can write the earns as 200x.

He spends $1,200 per month and $120 per hour. We can write it as 1,200 + 120x.

So, we need 200x = 1,200 + 120x

We don't have this exact equation in our options but if we subtract 120x from both sides, we have:

200x - 120x = 1,200 + 120x - 120x

200x - 120x = 1,200

The correct answer is the first equation.

You make $25000 a year, and you get a 10% raise. Your new salary is $____ The next year you get a 10% cut. Your new salary is $_

gtnhenbr [62]

Firstly, we have to find out what 10% of $25000 is. To do this, multiply $25000 by 0.1 (10% in decimal form): $\$25000 \times 0.1=\$2500$ . <em>$2500 is the 10% raise.</em>

Next, to find your first new salary, add $25000 and $2500 together: $\$25000+\$2500=\$27500$ . <u>$27500 is your new salary after the 10% raise.</u>

Next, we need to find 10% of $27500. It's a similar process as to finding 10% of $25000. $\$27500 \times 0.1=\$2750$ . <em>$2750 is your 10% cut.</em>

Next, since this is a cut, subtract $2750 from $27500. $\$27500-\$2750=\$24750$ . <u>$24750 is your new salary after the 10% cut.</u>

Next, to find the percentage change, firstly divide $24750 by $25000. $\frac{\$24750}{\$25000}=0.99\ \textsf{or}\ 99\%$ . Now this shows that your current salary is 99% of what you used to make. It is <em>not</em> how much less you make. To find how much less it is, subtract 99% from 100%: $100\%-99\%=1\%$ . <u>Your current salary is 1% less than what you used to make.</u>

X =x=x, equals <br> ^\circ <br> ∘<br> degrees

Andrej [43]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 145°

we don't even need the upper parallel line with the 35° angle.

it is simply based on the fact that the angles on both sides of 2 intersecting lines have to be the same (just left-right mirrored).
