In first 40 hours he earns = 7.30 x 40 = $292
Each hour after his rate = 7.20 x 1.5 = $10.80 per hour
In extra four hours he earns = 10.80 x 4 = $43.20
Total earnings = $292 + $43.20 = $335.20
Therefore you don't agree
The correct answer is c.
because he ordered 45 pounds of oranges
twice as many pounds of apples as oranges so:45*2=90 pounds of apples
and 20 pounds more strawberries than apples so: 90+20=110 pounds strawberries
in total:45+90+110=245 pounds of fruits!!
So here you're using system of equations. You can solve systems by graphing, elimination, or substitution. Ill use substitution. First lets solve for x. take the second equation and add y to both sides to get x by itself:
x - y = 75
x = y + 75 now plug y+75 in for x in the first equation
x + y = 743
(y +75) +y = 743 solve for y
2y +75 = 743 subtract 75
2y = 668 divide both sides by 2
y = 334
now plug this into any of the 2 equations to solve for x i chose the second one
x - y = 75
x - 334 = 75 add 334 to both sides
x = 409
This means x, sold before the tournament is 409 and y, sold at the door is 334. That means the assistant is wrong and accidentally flipped the two answers
