So hmmm let's see
she has a monthly income of 120 from investments, now, there are 12 months in a year, so her yearly income from investments are 120*12 or
$1440
she plays on a band, and makes 200 a week, now, there are 52 weeks in a year, so her yearly income from band playing is 200 * 52, or
$10400
her total annual income is 49696, now, if we subtract the band and investment income, we'd be left over with only what comes from her job payrate
so 49696 - 1440 - 10400 is 37856
so, she makes from her job, $37856 annually
now, she only works 28 hours weekly, how much is that yearly? well, 52 weeks in a year, she works 28*52 hours a year, let us divide 37856 by that
37856 ÷ ( 28 * 52) well, it ends up as 26
so, her hourly payrate is $26 per hour
now, she wants to ask for a raise, to make 51880 annually
well, if we check the difference of 51880 and 49696, that'd leave us with the difference in pay, or the raise annual amount
51880 - 49696 = 2184
ok, so she wants $2184 annually more from her work
how much is that in the hours she works annually? well 2184 ÷ ( 28 * 52)
You can't change more than 100 percent
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x= money earned per hour working as a cashier.
y=money earned per hour working delivering newspapers.
We propose the following system of equations:
5x + 4y =77
6x + 3y=78
We solve the system by reduction method:
-6*(5x+4y=77) ⇒ -30x-24y=-462
5*(6x+3y=78)⇒ 30x+15y=390
---------------------------
-9y=-72 ⇒ y=-72 /-9=8
Now, we get the value of "x" replacing the value of "y" by "8" in any part of the equation above.
5x + 4(8)=77
5x+32=77
5x=77-32
5x=45
x=45/5=9
therefore;
money earned per hour working as a cashier= $9/ hour
money earned per hour working delivering newspapers=$8/hour
