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

Pieces of Mail. The number of pieces of mail
Zina [86]

Answer:

20.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of the pieces of mail handled by the U.S postal service decreased from 212,000,000,000 to 168,000,000

Therefore the percentage decrease can be calculated as follows

= 212,000,000,000-168,000,000,000

= 44,000,000,000/212,000,000,000 × 100

= 0.2075 × 100

= 20.8 %

Hence the percentage decrease is 20.8%

Use the quadratic formula to solve x2+7x+3. Show all of your work. Then describe the solution.
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficients of the quadratic x^2 + 7x + 3 are a = 1, b = 7 and c = 3.

The discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or 49 - 4(1)(3), or 49-12, or 37.

Because the discriminant is positive, we know that this quadratic equation has two real, different solutions.

      -7 ± √37

x = ---------------   =>   x = (-7 + √37)/2  and  x = (-7 - √37)/2

             2

In words:  This quadratic equation has two real, unequal solutions involving the radicand 37.
