Write and solve an equation:
Total earnings = $782.75 = s(40 hrs) + 1.5*s*(7 hrs)
Then 782.75 = 40s + 10.5s = 50.5s
Dividing both sides by 50.5: s = 15.5. The attendant's regular hourly wage was $15.50.

Step-by-step explanation:
x= the money John originally had in his savings account
The statement says that John spent $88 on a radio and 1/4 of what was left on presents for his friends. This means that the remaining money is 3/4 of the total amount minus the money spent on the radio:
3/4(x-88)
Then, it says that of the money remaining, John put 4/11 into a checking account and the last remaining $420 was left to charity. Since, he spent 4/11 of the remining 3/4(x-88), the remaining is 7/11 of that and that remaining is equal to $420 that was the money left at the end:
7/11(3/4(x-88))= 420
21/44(x-88)=420
21/44x-42=420
21/44x=462
x=968
According to this, the money that John originally had in his savings account was $968.
He spent $88 on a radio: 968-88= 880
1/4 of what was left on presents for his friends: 880/4= 220
880-220=660
Of the money remaining, John put 4/11 into a checking account: 660*(4/11)=240
the last remaining $420 was left to charity: 660-240= 420
The correct answers are A and D
Answer:
<u>The approximate total weight of the grapefruits, using the clustering estimation technique is B. 35 ounces.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
We notice that the weights of the grapefruits given are slightly down or above 7, then we will use <em>7 as our cluster</em> for the estimation, as follows:
Weights
7.47 ⇒ 7
7.23 ⇒ 7
6.46 ⇒ 7
7.48 ⇒ 7
6.81 ⇒ 7
<u>Now we can add up 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 for the weights of the grapefruits and the approximate total weight is B. 35 ounces.</u>
