I am setting the week hourly rate to x, and the weekend to y. Here is how the equation is set up:
13x + 14y = $250.90
15x + 8y = $204.70
This is a system of equations, and we can solve it by multiplying the top equation by 4, and the bottom equation by -7. Now it equals:
52x + 56y = $1003.60
-105x - 56y = -$1432.90
Now we add these two equations together to get:
-53x = -$429.30 --> 53x = $429.30 --> (divide both sides by 53) x = 8.10. This is how much she makes per hour on a week day.
Now we can plug in our answer for x to find y. I am going to use the first equation, but you could use either.
$105.30 + 14y = $250.90. Subtract $105.30 from both sides --> 14y = $145.60 divide by 14 --> y = $10.40
Now we know that she makes $8.10 per hour on the week days, and $10.40 per hour on the weekends. Subtracting 8.1 from 10.4, we figure out that she makes $2.30 more per hour on the weekends than week days.

Answer:
hello!!!
300 cupcakes
please read the explanation.. it always helps... trust me...
Step-by-step explanation:
alrighty here it goes...
okay.. so we start by reading the problem (duh) but also underlining the important numbers that we need. yes, it really is that simple, trust me....
okay so the percentage of chocoalte cupcakes was 8% and the amount of vanilla cupcakes was 276.
we start by taking 100% - 8% = 92% so the amount of vanilla cupcakes sold was 276 which is also 92% of the total amount of cupcakes.
so now we need to find out 92% of what number gets us 276.
the percentage formula (in this problem) should be as follows:
92/100 x (total amount of cupcakes) = 276
to solve for total amount of cupcakes you do 276 x 100 then you divide by 92 to get your answer (which is 300)
i hope this helps!!!
Answer:
false
Step-by-step explanation:
-1/8 = -0.125
-1/10 = -0.1<u>00</u>
as it is negative
-0.125 < -0.1
so it is false
It’s option D.) I did a quiz on this !
