Sorry for the late answer.

Basically, just work your way backwards. Equation form of the question:

x * 2/3 * 1/8 = $40

where x is the amount earned before taxes. Therefore, after rearranging some stuff, we get:

x = $40 * 8 * 1.5
and thus
x = $320 * 1.5
x = $480

What are period and amplitude for the function
sweet [91]

Answer: Period: 4. Amplitude: 3

Step-by-step explanation: The period is how long it takes for one cycle of the function (one up and down). In this graph, one cycle ends at 4.

The amplitude is how far away the extremes of the graph are from the midline. This graph is a total of 6 units tall, making the amplitude 3. (I usually find total graph height and divide by 2.)

Answer:

<h2><u>The amount paid to an employee was </u><u>162</u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>The expression 12h + 30w Identifies the amount paid to an employee.</u></h2><h2><u>Let h represent hours and let w represent the total amount of g-wagons sold. </u></h2><h2><u>Since the question explains that an employee works 6 hours and sells 3 wagons, put h as h = 6 and w as w = 3. We would end up getting this equation. 12h + 30w = 12(6) + 30(3).</u></h2><h2><u>Now all you need to do is solve it.</u></h2><h2><u>left side = 72</u></h2><h2><u>right side = 90</u></h2><h2><u>72 + 90 =</u><u> 162</u></h2>
