Hourly wage = $12
Number of hours Peter worked = 20 hours

Gross Pay = Hourly Wage x Number of Hours worked

Using the values, we get:

Gross Pay = 12 x 20 = $240

Thus, the gross pay of Peter was $240 for his work of last week

A sweater is on sale for 20% off. A jacket is on sale for 15% off. The sale price for each item is $34.00. Which item cost more

SashulF [63]

The sweater cost more originally. It costs $2.50 more from jacket.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Discount rate of sweater = 20%

Sale price of sweater = (100-20)% = 80%

Discount rate of jacket = 15%

Sale price of jacket = (100-15)% = 85%

Sale price of each item = $34.00

Let,

x be the original price of sweater.

y be the original price of jacket.

80% of x = 34

$\frac{80}{100}x=34\\0.80x=34$

Dividing both sides by 0.80

$\frac{0.80x}{0.80}=\frac{34}{0.80}\\x=42.50$

The original price of sweater is $42.50

85% of y = 34

$\frac{85}{100}y=34\\0.85y=34$

Dividing both sides by 0.85

$\frac{0.85y}{0.85}=\frac{34}{0.85}\\y=40$

The original cost of jacket is $40

Difference = 42.50 - 40 = $2.50

The sweater cost more originally. It costs $2.50 more from jacket.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So lets use the process of elimantion to find the answer.

Firs off, we can tell that this is a greater/less than or equal to inequlaity, since there is a inclosed circle, not a open one. So this leaves the top left answer and bottem right answer.

Now, we can see that the graph is from 0-15. X is at 7.

This means its x+8, because the x would be smaller, or possibly even negatibe on this graph.

My theory that can better support my annwer is if we solve for x:

x+8=15

We can subtract 8 from both sides:

x=7

And as we can see on the inequality, x is at 7 in the graph.

Hope this makes sense and helps!
