Item 6 Your friend earns $10.50 per hour. This is 125% of her hourly wage last year. How much did your friend earn per hour last
tester [92]

Answer:

$8.40

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a proportion to find the total amount last year using the information given. A proportion is two equivalent ratios set equal to each other.

\frac{125}{100}=\frac{10.50}{y}

We will cross multiply the numerator of one ratio with denominator of the other. And then solve for y.

125(y)=100(10.50)

125y=1050

y=8.40

Decimal comes from the Latin word decimus, meaning tenth, from the root word decem, or 10. The decimal system, therefore, has 10 as its base and is sometimes called a base-10 system. Decimal can also specifically refer to a number in the decimal system.
