Answer:
t = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
3 months ------ 4500
6 months ------ x
3/6 = 4500/x
cross multiplation:
3x =27000
x = 9000,or we should have just doubled the wages, since the time doubled
3 months ------ 4500
5 months ------ y
3/5 = 4500/y
3y = 22500
y = 7500
3 months ------- 4500
t months -------- 19500
3/t = 4500/19500 = 3/13
3t = 39
t = 13

Answer:
Susan has suggested a correct method to calculate the amount of money
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we must check what each person is calculating. First, we consider Susan's method. She has suggested that we multiply the cost per soda, that is dollars/soda by the number of sodas required, we get the total cost.
Assuming that 18 sodas are required and each costs $0.20, the total cost according to Susan is $3.60.
John suggests we divide the cost of a 12 pack of soda by the number of sodas required. Considering a 12 pack of soda costs $12 and the same amount of sodas, 18, are required, we get that each soda costs $0.66.
Looking at these answers, we see that Susan has suggested a correct method to calculate the amount of money needed to buy a number of sodas. John has suggested the amount each person would have to contribute if everyone at the party was trying to buy a 12-pack of soda; regardless of whether more or less than a 12-pack is required.
T is greater than -15 because numbers after -15, like -16... are less than -15, so when its decreasing it gets lower. Since the questions says the temp stayed above -15, that means the temp could be -14...-13 and so on.
