Answer: 6800

Step-by-step explanation:

74/100=5032/x because 74% out of 100% were sold which equals to 5032 tickets out of an unknown amount.

so then you cross multiply and you end up with the equation 5032*100=74x

if you do the math you get 503200=74x

then you divide both sides by 74 and you end up with x= 6800

Tim Hortons is hiring and offers $200 every week plus $5 per hour. McDonalds offers $300 every week plus $2 per hour. State the

Answer: After working for 33 $\frac{1}{3}$ hours a week

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us write equations to represent these two places. Let x be hours worked and y be money earned.

Tim Hortons:

$200 + $5x = y

McDonalds:

$300 + $2x = y

Now, to find the conditions of which Tim Hortons is the better employer (on the basis of money earned) we must find the interval that Tim Hortons pays more. This can be found by setting up another equation, or by graphing. I have shown both. See attached for the graph.

$200 + $5x > $300 + $2x

$5x > $100 + $2x

$3x > $100

x > $\frac{100}{3}$
