Mathematics

Answer:

<u>A. Hector pays $ 123 in taxes each paycheck.</u>

<u>B.  Hector should expect to receive $615 or 75% of his regular pay.</u>

<u>C. Hector will be paid $ 902 when he receives his next 4- week paycheck.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the questions correctly:

Paycheck Hector gets every four weeks = $ 820

2. Hector has to pay 15% of his income in taxes. How much money does he

pay in taxes each paycheck? Show your thinking with a diagram and

calculations.

Taxes = 15% of 820

Taxes = 0.15 * 820

Taxes = $ 123

Hector's paycheck: ←------------------------------820--------------------------------------→

Taxes:                       ←----123---→

3. Hector took a 1-week vacation, so his next paycheck will only be for 3

weeks of work. What percentage of his regular pay should he expect to

receive? How much is that?

We can answer this question using the Direct Rule of Three, this way:

  Weeks         Paycheck

      4                   820

      3                     x

***********************************

4x = 820 * 3

4x = 2,460

x = 2,460/4

x = 615

615/820 = 0.75 = 75%

4. The garage owner is impressed with Hector's work and is giving him a

10% raise. How much will Hector be paid when he receives his next 4- week paycheck?

Raise = 10% of 820

Raise = 0.1 * 820 = 82

Next 4- week paycheck = 820 + 82 = 902

Two sides of a triangle measure 25 cm and 35 cm. What is the meadure of the third side?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

43cm

Step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c²

25² + 35² = c²

625 + 1225 = c²

1850 = c²

√1850 = c

43 cm = c

your a, b and c values depend on where the values are on the triangle.

If if the branding division were to experience the same percentage increase from year 2 to year 3 as they did from year 1 to yea
Sedaia [141]
Since the basis is from year 1 to year 2, calculate first for the difference of their percentages. That would be:

Difference = year 2 - year 1
Difference = 2.32% - 1.1% = 1.22%

We apply this same value of percentage increase from year 2 to year. Thus, the percentage for year 3 is:

% Year 3 = % Year 2 + percentage increase
% Year 3 = 2.32% + 1.22%
% Year 3 = 3.54%

A textbook company keeps track of its daily cost for printing whole textbooks to different schools, but can only print up to 500
seraphim [82]
Part A: Chose some value for x, that means any amount of books to print for example 100 books, so x=100
Replace x=100 in C(x) and solve:
C(100)=3.5*100+1200=1550
Part B: Replace C(x) by 1900 and solve for x from the given equation:
1900=3.5x+1200
3.5x=1900-1200
x=700/3.5= 200
Part C: the statement C(20)=1270 means that 1270 is the cost for printing 20 books.
Part E: C(40.5)=1341.75 I think this statement is incorrect given the context because x means number of books to print so this value must be an integer number.

Ok so this is so confusing The volume of water in a rectangular swimming pool can be modeled by the polynomial 2x3 _ 9x2 + 7x +
Alika [10]
The volume formula is V= l x L x H, l=width, L=Length, H= Depth, so 
2x3 _ 9x2 + 7x + 6 = l x L x (2x + 1), because H=(2x + 1), so 
l x L= (2x3 _ 9x2 + 7x + 6 )/ (2x + 1) = (2x3 _ 9x2 + 7x + 6 ) X [1/(2x + 1)]
case1: l= (2x3 _ 9x2 + 7x + 6 ) or L= 1/(2x + 1), case2: L= (2x3 _ 9x2 + 7x + 6 ) or l= 1/(2x + 1)
the why question:
perhaps there is similarity of value between volume and l, or volume and L
