Answer:
a. 311 hours
b. i. $3,100 in receipts
ii. $2,799 in expenses.
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The company is making $10 per hour and spending $9 an hour. Their profit is therefore:
= 10 - 9
= $1 per hour
Since they spent $311 on the new equipment, the amount of time it would take for them to make this back is:
= 311 / 1
= 311 hours
b. In 311 hours, the total receipts would be:
= 311 * 10
= $3,110
The expenses would be:
= 311 * 9
= $2,799
The complete pattern is: 512, 256, 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, ( and extended ) 4, 2, 1!
I do this pattern in my head literally all the time!
