Answer:

1. D

2. B


Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Question 1:</u>

We can get Avon's earnings using the equation  W=HR+1.5VR+B+T

Where W is his earnings

HR is the regular hours (40 hours in this case)

V is overtime hours (hours over 40, 45.5 - 40 = 5.5 hours)

B is bonus (no bonus)

T is tips ( $100 tips, given)

and R is the rate (which is $5 per hour)


<em>Substituting the given info into the equation, we get:</em>

<em>W=HR+1.5VR+B+T\\W=(40)(5)+1.5(5.5)(5)+0+100\\W=341.25</em>


<em>So avon's earnings are $341.25</em>

<em>Answer choice D is right.</em>


<u>Question 2:</u>

The other employee needs to work x hours @ $15 per hour to equate or surpass $428. So we can set up the equation shown below and solve for x:

(15)(x)=428\\x=\frac{428}{15}\\x=28.53

Rounded to 1 decimal place, this is about 28.5 hours

Answer choice B is right.

<h3>Answer:</h3>
  1. D. $341.25
  2. B. About 28.5
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

1. Put the given numbers in the given formula and do the arithmetic.

... W = 40·5 +1.5·5.5·5 +0 +100

... = 200 + 41.25 +100

... = 341.25 . . . . . matches selection D

___

2. Multiplying hours by the hourly rate gives earnings. You want to find h such that ...

... $15·h = $428

Divide by $15.

... h = $428/$15 = 28 8/15 ≈ 28.5333 . . . . close to answer choice B

Answer:

rearrange them properly to get

x-y=7

-3x+y=12

( by elimination method)

x-y = 7

-3x+y=

(x+ –3x) + (–y+y) = (7+12)

-2x+0= 19

x= -9.5

from eqn(i)

x-y=7

-9.5 - y=7

-y=16.5

y= -16.5
