Double-time for overtime...so overtime pay is 2(8.50) = 17
40(8.50) + 9(17) = 340 + 153 = 493 <== pay for the week
Answer:
They each have 64
Step-by-step explanation:
let C = number of fish that Cecilia has --- then, O = 2C, where O = number of fish that Oscar has --- and T = O + 8 = 2C + 8, where T = number of fish that Tasha has --- then, C + O + T = C + 2C + (2C + 8) = 148 --- or, 5C + 8 = 148 --- or, 5C = 140 --- or, C = 140/5 = 28 --- and, O = 2C = 2(28) = 56 --- and, T = O + 8 = 56 + 8 = 64
Let x = the number
.05 = .1x
5/100 = (1/10)x Multiply both sides by 10.
5/10 = x
1/2 = x
Hope this helps!
The problem presented with the word used as "divied" is very tricky and misleading to the point that it might create an understanding.
So we will approach this is in two ways.
If this was meant to be "divided by" then it would look like this:
6 / 192
If this was meant to be "divided to" then it would look like this:
192 / 6
Let us first solve for the first possible problem:
6 / 192 = ?
0.0312
0.0312 would be the answer.
Let us then solve for the second possible problem:
192 / 6 = ?
32 = ?
32 would be the answer.
So 0.0312 and 32 would be two possible answers to this problem.
