Remark
The trick to this question is realizing what you took 1/3 of. Did you take it of the 150000 or is it 1/3 of some total you have to find. I don't think you could come up with a third choice.
It turns out that the answer is 1/3 of a number you don't know.
Equation
(1/3) x = 150000 Multiply both sides by 3
3*(1/3) x = 150000 * 3
x = 150000 * 3
x = 450000
Conclusion
The amount the company makes is 450000 dollars / year.
So you know that he earns $15 per hour so we can write that as 15h, h = # of hours worked
We also know he has to earn AT LEAST $200, so putting all this together we form the inequality(=< means less than or equal to): 15h =< 200
so now we have to solve for h (number of hours worked):
15h =< 200
(divide both sides by 15)
h =< 13 1/3
So, the painter must work a minimum of 13 and 1/3 hours to earn at least $200.
To add 7.5% to a number you simply multiply the number by 1.075. To compound that amount year after year, you raise 1.075 to an exponent that corresponds to the number of years. 2600*(1.075^8)=<span>4637.04234646</span>
Hello good person. The answer is C, (4,7). If you replace the x's in both equations (4) and the y's i both equations (7) you would get your answer for both.
Im pretty sure the answer is 1.675
