Your integers are x, x+2, and x+4
x+x+2=22+x+4
2x+2=x+26
x=24

James earned $39,600 last year. He paid $11,250 towards rent and $1,422 in car payments. What percent of his earnings did Jon pa

tester [92]

Step 1:
Add rent & car payments

=11,250+1422
=$12,672

Step 2:
to determine %, set up a proportion
12,672 is to his total of 39,600 as x is to 100

12,672/39,600 = x/100
cross multiply
(12,672)(100) = (39,600)(x)
1,267,200= 39,600x
divide both sides by 39,600
32%= x

OR

Alternative Step 2:
12,672 ÷ 39,600= 0.32
Alternative Step 3:
0.32 x 100 = 32%
or move decimal to the right 2 places

His rent and car payments are 32% of his earnings.

Hope this helps! :)

A store manager is accepting applications for part-time workers. he can hire no more than 14 people. so far,he has hired 9 peopl

Lorico [155]

The manager already hired 9 people. Let $x$ be the number of people he still can hire. Since these people will add to the 9 he already hired, when the hiring campaign will be over he will have hired $9+x$ people. We know that he can't hire more than 14 people, so the number of people hired must be less than or equal to 14:

$9+x \leq 14$

If we subtract 9 from both sides, we have

$x \leq 14-9=5$

so, the manager can hire at most 5 other people

I don’t know how you do 17.1 divided by 0.9.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

The answer is 19

work :

1-multiply the numbers by a submultiple of 10 to remove the decimal points.
$17.1 \times 10 = 171 \\ \\ 0.9 \times 10 = 9$

2-

now do the division :
$171 \div 9 = 19$

so the answer is 19

note: there is no need to get it back to decimal number unless you multiply just one of the numbers or multiply the numbers with different submultiples of 10

good luck
