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

How many degrees does the hour hand turn to get from 12:00 to 12:20
den301095 [7]
So each hour represents 30°.
The minute hand moves 60s per minute and a full rotation is 360° so: 360/60 = 6° per minute.
<span>So in 20 minutes the minute hand will be 6 * 20 = 120° and the hour hand will be 120/12 = 10°. 
</span>so it would be 10°

A textbook store sold a combined total of 477 sociology and math textbooks in a week. The number of sociology textbois sold was
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is 218 math textbooks and 259 sociology textbooks.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can make a system of equations. Let the number of sociology textbooks sold be represented by the variable "s" and the number of math textbooks sold be represented by the variable "m". Using these variables, we can make two equations:

s + m = 477

m + 41 = s

There are many ways to solve this system of equations. One approach we can take is substituting the value for s given by the second equation into the first equation. This is modeled below.

s + m = 477

(m + 41) + m = 477

Combining like terms on the left side of the equation yields:

2m + 41 = 477

Subtracting 41 from both sides of the equation gives us:

2m = 436

Finally, dividing both sides of the equation by 2 gives us:

m = 218

To solve for the number of sociology textbooks, we can substitute into either of our original equations.

m + 41 = s

(218) + 41 = s

s = 259

Therefore, your answer is m = 218 and s = 259, or 218 math textbooks and 259 sociology textbooks were sold.

Hope this helps!
