multiply the number of hours worked by the hourly wage. Once you have that number multiply that by the percent deducted. Subtract the percent deducted number from the gross pay and you have your answer.

Note: each deduction is taken out of the total gross pay.

Mountain Climbers use a general rule of thumb which estimates that the temperature will drop 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit for every 10

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

55.5F

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = slope = -3.5/1000

distance = x = 1000

b = temperature at x = 0 = 59F according to https://www.universalweather.com/blog/international-standard-atmosphere-how-it-affects-flight-understanding-the-basics/

temperature = y = ?

y = -.0035(1000) + 59

y = 55.5

Help please !!! At a local Brownsville play production, 420 tickets were sold. The ticket prices varied on the seating

Radda [10]

Answer:

n = 12$ x = 8$ y = 10$ where n, x, and y are number of tickets

12 n + 8 x + 10 y = 3920 and n + x + y = 420

12n + 8 (x + y) + 2 y = 3920

12 n + 8 (5 n) + 2 y = 3920 since 5 (x + y) = n

52 n + 2 y = 3920 or y = 1960 - 26 n

Also, n + x + y = 420 or n + 5 n = 420 since x + y = 5 n

n = 70 so 70 of the $12 were sold

And since y = 1960 - 26 n we have y = 140 tickets

Now 12 * 70 + 8 x + 140 * 10 = 3920

This gives x = 210 tickets

Check: 210 + 140 + 70 = 420 tickets

Also, 12 * 70 + 210 * 8 + 140 * 10 = 3920

What is the equation of the line connecting (1,5) and (4,14)?

german

To find the slope of the line:
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(14-5)/(4-1)=(9)/(3)=3

Only one of your 4 possible answers has 3 as a slope. However, plugging in each point into the y=mx+b equation, the y-intercept consistently comes out as 2..
y=mx+b
14=3(4)+b b=2
5=3(1)+b b=2
y=3x+2
If there is a consistent, positive slope (from your question, this does not seem to have a quadratic as an option), 3x+5 is not even a viable solution because x=1 when the y-value is 5 (and thus no other x value {0} could have a y-value of 5). It seems as though you have a typo on your hands. Hopefully this helps?

Jessica records the number of winners at the Dunk-a-Teacher booth at the town fair as shown in the table. If there are 750 conte

Keith_Richards [23]

Between 75 and 98.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first have a look at the previous data available:

Friday, 27 dunk teachers out of 215 participants (12.5%)

Saturday: 54 dunk teachers out of 417 participants (12.9%)

Sunday: 39 dunk teachers out of 368 participants (10.6%)

So, based on the previous 3 days, she can expect between 10% and 13% will dunk a teacher.

If she has 750 contestants on Monday, the number of winners should then be in the range of 75 (10% of 750) and 98 (13% of 750).

There are approximately 3.6 million deaths per year in country A. Express this quantity as deaths per minute.

morpeh [17]

About 6 or 7 deaths per minutes because if you divided 3.6 million by the amount of minutes in a year (525,600) you get 6.84931506 on and on.
