Answer:

Hamish and Harry work as plumbers. Harry earns a dollar an hour more than 5/4 the amount hamish earns per hour. harry earns per hour is 2$ less than 7/5 the amount hamish earns per hour. how much do each of them make an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x is the  amount Harry earns 

y is the amount Hamish earns 

x=(5/4)y+1 ⇒ (x-1)*4/5 = y-------- equation 1

x=(7/5)y-2⇒ (x+2)*5/7 = y-------- equation 2

equals 1 and 2

(x-1)*4/5 = (x+2)*5/7

(4x-4)/5 = (5x+10)/7

(4x-4)*7 = (5x+10)*5

28x-28 = 25x+50

28x-25x = 50+28

3x = 78

x = 26

substitute x = 26 for y=(x-1)*4/5

y = (x-1)*4/5

y =  (26-1)*4/5

y = 20

the answer is

<h3>Harry earns $26 an hour</h3><h3>Hamish earns  $20 an hour</h3>

Systematic sampling is a kind of probability sampling method in which individuals from a larger population are nominated according to a random initial point and a static, periodic interval.

A sample of size 50.

Then the value of <em>k</em> will be: k=\frac{4502}{50}=90.04\approx 50

Thus, the value of <em>k</em> is 90.

(b)

Label the employees from 1 to 4502.

singh works at a restaurant where he is paid by the hour plus time and a half for his hours over 40. last week he worked four ho
padilas [110]

Answer:

$8.5 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of overtime hours = 4 hours

Since overtime starts after 40 hours, then the number of hours worked = 40 + 4 = 44 hours

Total amount earned = $391

Let Hourly pay = x

Overtime pay = 1 1/2x = 3/2x

Therefore ;

40x + (4*3/2x) = 391

40x + 6x = 391

46x = 391

x = 391 / 46

x = 8.5

Hourly pay = $8.5 per hour
