Answer:

about  566.667  or to be exact:   1700/3

Step-by-step explanation:

85 is 15% of what number

We should translate this.

85 = 15% * (some number)

call that number x

85 = 15% *(x)

Solve for x

85 = 0.15 * x

x = 85/0.15 =  1700/3

x = 566.667

Answer:

We have, 15% × x = 85

or,  

15

100

× x = 85

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 15,

we have x = 85 ×  

100

15

x = 566.67

An automotive technician has two job offers. Shop A would pay him a straight salary of $900 per week. Shop B would pay him $25 p
JulsSmile [24]

Given,

The salary for the technician from shop A is $900 per week.

The salary for the technician from shop B is $25 per hour.

The equation for the total pay for shop B is,

\text{Total pay= salary of per hour}\times number\text{ of hour worked}

Taking the total pay as 900. As, to make the shop A and shop B equal.

\begin{gathered} 900=25\times Number\text{ of hour worked} \\ Number\text{ of hour worked}=\frac{900}{25}=36 \end{gathered}

Hence, he would have to log 36 hours during a week at Shop B in order to match the salary at Shop A.
