1 answer:

4 0

$40\% \ of x = 56 \\ \\ \frac{40}{100}*x=56 \\ \\ x=56: \frac{40}{100} \\ \\ x=56* \frac{100}{40}= \frac{5600}{40}= 140 . \\ \\ \\\\\huge\text{The answer is x=140 !}$

Amber works as a waitress at a restaurant. She earns an hourly wage and also earns tips. One night, she worked 6 hours and earne

Answer:

Hey there!

The given equation helps us understand the relationship between Amber's tips earned and the money she earned through her hourly wage. This information will add up to equal a grand total of $69.20.

We know that Amber earns $15.50 in tips during her 6 hour shift. Therefore, this is not considered part of her wage. This would be one of the constants of our equation.

We also know that Amber earns a fixed hourly wage, but we don't know what this wage is. We need to find w.

$6w+15.5=\$69.20$

Subtract 15.5 from both sides of the equation (and get rid of the currency symbol).

$6w=69.20-15.5\\6w=53.7$

Divide both sides of the equation by 6.

$\displaystyle \frac{6w}{6}=\frac{53.7}{6}\\\\w=8.95$

Therefore, Amber's hourly wage is $8.95.

Answer correctly and get brainliset

Klio2033 [76]

The answer is the mean is 8. The range is equal to the largest number, 10 minus the smallest number, 5. It equals 5, so d is wrong. The mean is all of the values added together, 80, divided by the number of values, 10. So, 8. The median is the middle which is between 7 and 8, so 7.5. Five has no dots.

What’s the domain and range for (2,4) (5,3) (-1,-4) (0,9) (-3,1)

Citrus2011 [14]

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked to state the domain and range for the following relation.

First of all, a relation is just a set of ordered pairs like you see in this problem. The domain is the set of all x-coordinates for those ordered pairs. So in this case the domain or D is {2, 5, -1, 0, -3}.

The range is the set of all y-coordinates for those ordered pairs. So in this case our range or R is {4, 3, -4, 9, 1}.
