Answer:  

The correct option is D. 17.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total employment compensation = $33500

Amount of Job expenses = $0

Gross Pay of Trevor = $28600

Benefits of Trevor = 33500 - 28600

                              = $4900

Now, We need to find Percentage of his total benefits

\implies\text{Percentage of his total benefits = }\frac{4900}{28600}\times 100\\\\ = 0.171\times 100\\\\=17.1\%

Therefore, Trevor's total employee benefits are 17.1% of his gross pay

Hence, The correct option is D. 17.1%

we know that

Total\  employment\  compensation=gross\  pay+employee\  benefits-job\  expenses

in this problem

Total\  employment\  compensation=33,500\ dollars

gross\  pay=28,600\ dollars

job\  expenses=0

Step 1

Find the total employee benefits

Let

EC------> total employment compensation

EB--------> total employee benefits

GP------> gross pay

JE------> job expenses

EC=GP+EB-JE

33,500=28,600+EB-0\\ EB=33,500-28,600\\ EB=4,900\ dollars

Step 2

Find the percentage of the total employee benefits

we know that

total employee benefits is equal to 4,900\ dollars

gross pay is equal to 28,600\ dollars

by proportion

\frac{28,600}{4,900} =\frac{100}{x} \\ \\ x*28,600=100*4,900\\ \\ x=\frac{100*4,900}{28,600}

x=17.1%

therefore

the answer is the option

d. 17.1

I think I have the correct answers but will anyone try to solve these questions so I can see if we got the same answer.
Andre45 [30]

Because you seem to have an understanding of the material, I will write my math, but no explanations for my work. Comment on this answer for an explanation, or if I did something wrong.

1. Find the length of the South side of the field.

(5x+2)+(x^2-9)+(x^2-7x+12)\\5x+2+x^2-9+x^2-7x+12\\2x^2+5x+2-9-7x+12\\2x^2-2x+2-9+12\\2x^2-2x+5

2.Find the perimeter of the pumpkin field.

2(5x+2)+2(5x-2)\\(5x+2)+(5x+2)+(5x-2)+(5x-2)\\20x+4-4\\20x

3. Find the perimeter of the whole field.

2(4x+5x-2)+2(5x+2+x^2-9+x^2-7x+12)\\2(9x-2)+2(2x^2-2x-5)\\18x-4+4x^2-4x+10\\4x^2+14x+6

4. If x=30ft, what is the total perimeter?

P=4x^2+14x+6\\P=4(30)^2+14(30)+6\\P=4(900)+420+6\\P=1026ft

Random Tangent:

If you want to involve y in finding these answers for whatever reason, your math is going to get messy. Here's what I tried before I realized you could multiply each side by 2 to get the total perimeter:

xy+1+x+6=4x+5x-2\\xy-8x=-9\\x(y-8)=-9\\y-8=-\frac{9}{x}\\y=-\frac{9}{x}+8

Now the other side. This one's even worse.

xy-1+6x+x=5x+2+x^2-9+x^2-7x+12\\xy+9x-2x^2=5\\x(y+9+2x)=5\\2x+9+y=\frac{5}{x}\\y=\frac{5}{x}-2x-9

At this point, was realizing I wasn't going about the problem correctly, but did one last try by setting y=y. At this point in the equation, I simply had to stop, both due to complexity and technological problems.

\frac{5}{x}-2x-9=-\frac{9}{x}+8\\\frac{14}{x}=2x+17\\ 14=2x^2+17x\\0=2x^2+17x-13\\

I could possibly continue to solve, but I don't see a point. It was clear that this was NOT the right path to take finding the perimeter. It was here I realized that I could just multiply the two sides without y in them by 2 and--without as much difficulty--reach the correct answer.

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4.6 pounds of pecans     1 pound of pecans

_________________ = ______________

50. 89 dollars                   x dollars

Set up an equation like this.

Cross multiply

4.6(x)=50.89(1)

divide both sides by 4.6

x=11.06 (about)

So I pound of pecans costs about 11.06 dollars

The length of a rectangle is 33 meters less than twice the width. if the area of the rectangle is 464464 square​ meters, find th
vfiekz [6]
Good night from Canada!
Let W be the width in meters
Let L be the length in meters. 

L*W=464464
L=2W-33
(2W-33)*W=464464
2W^2-33W=464464
2W^2-33W-464464=0
Use the quadratic formula to solve for the zeros 
x=-b√b²-4ac/2a
Sub in b=-33 a=2 and c=-464464 and solve using position and negative values for the √b.
We get:
w=490.225 and w=473.725
Through simple algebra we can figure out that x=490.225 is more accurate when using it with the other equations and solving for the given area. 
L=2*490.225-33
L=947.45
947.45*490.225=464463.7

Therefore the length is 947.45m and the width is 490.225m.

Hope this helps!
