e number
of hours worked.
Regina: 6.50h + 16
Phil: 3(2.5h + 5)
Joseph: 7.50h + 10

Answer:

Disagree

On weeks when Joseph works extra 2/3 hours more than Phil, Phil and Joseph can earn the same amount of money

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression for the hourly earnings of Regina, Phil and Joseph are as follows;

Regina: 6.50·h + 16

Phil: 3·(2.5·H + 5)

Joseph: 7.50·h + 10

The number of hours worked = h

The hourly earnings for Phil equated to the hourly earnings of Joseph gives;

3·(2.5·H + 5) = 7.50·h + 10

Simplifying we get;

3 × 2.5·h + 3 × 5 = 7.50·h + 10

7.5·h + 15 = 7.50·h + 10

Which gives

15 =  10 + 5 = 10 which is not correct.

Therefore, when both Phil and Joseph works the same number of hours, in the week, Phil will earn 5 units more Joseph

However, we have that, where Joseph works extra 5/7.5 or 2/3 hours more than Phil, every week, they will earn the same amount of money every week.

Therefore, it is possible for Phil and Joseph to earn the same amount of money when Joseph works extra 2/3 hours more than Phil which gives;

On weeks when Joseph works extra 2/3 hours more than Phil, Phil and Joseph can earn the same amount of money.

Given the functions f and g, explain why you cannot find f⋅g.
Delvig [45]

We can't write the product because there is no common input in the tables of g(x) and f(x).

<h3>Why you cannot find the product between the two functions?</h3>

If two functions f(x) and g(x) are known, then the product between the functions is straightforward.

g(x)*f(x)

Now, if we only have some coordinate pairs belonging to the function, we only can write the product if we have two coordinate pairs with the same input.

For example, if we know that (a, b) belongs to f(x) and (a, c) belongs to g(x), then we can get the product evaluated in a as:

(g*f)(a) = f(a)*g(a) = b*c

Particularly, in this case, we can see that there is no common input in the two tables, then we can't write the product of the two functions.

meriva

Answer:

  16%

Step-by-step explanation:

The additional wage amount is $80.

The original wage amount is $500.

The ratio of the two is ...

  $80/$500 = 0.16 = 16/100

To express that ratio as a percentage, multiply it by 100%.

  0.16 × 100% = 16%

_____

It might help you to think of the percent sign (%) as a fancy way to write "per hundred" (/100). Of course, using your knowledge of place value, you know that 0.16 = sixteen hundredths = 16/100.

Realizing the meaning of the % sign, you can immediately write this as 16%.
