Answer:

New Wage after 10% increase =£374

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume  Carol's initial weekly wage be £ x

Now there is 10% decrease in weekly wage

10 %  of weekly wage = 10 % of x

                                    =  \frac{10x}{100} = 0.1x

New wage after 10% decrease =  initial weekly wage - 10% of x

                                                   =  x- 0.1x = 0.9x

It is given that new weekly wage is £ 306

so we equate £306 and 0.9x , so we have

0.9x=306

x=\frac{306}{0.9} ( divide both sides by 0.9)

x= 340

So we got

Initial weekly wages = £ 340

Now Let us find weekly wage when there is 10% increase,

10% of initial weekly wage = 10% of 340

                                            =\frac{10}{100}×340

                                            = 34

New Wage after 10% increase = 340+34

                                                  =£ 374

the answer would be 374.00

the original value before any increase or decrease is 340.00

so...

340.00 X 1.10 = 374.00

Kamila [148]

Answer:

Shaquille O'Neal's height= 2,160,000,000 nm

= 2.16 × 10^9 nm

Completed question;

The basketball player Shaquille O'Neal is 7 feet 1 inch tall, which is equivalent to 216 centimeters a nanometer (nm) is a unit of measurement that is one-billionth of a meter, convert his height to nanometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Shaquille O'Neal's height= 216cm = 216 × 1/100 m = 2.16m

Since, a nanometer (nm) is a unit of measurement that is one-billionth of a meter.

1 m = 1 billion nanometers

So,

2.16m = 2.16 billion nm = 2160000000 nm

Shaquille O'Neal's height= 2160000000 nm

= 2.16 × 10^9 nm

The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 28. What are the integers?
Fantom [35]
The correct option is B): "<span>Let x = 1st integer. Let x + 2 = 2nd integer.</span><span>"
Given that "The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 28."
 
Now the difference between two odd numbers is 2. So this means that one odd number has to be greater than the other by 2.

Let the smaller number be 'X' therefore the bigger number will be 'x+2' thus x + (x+2) = 28
 
therefore, x + x + 2 = 28 now we subtract "2" from both the sides
therefore, 2x = 26 now dividing throughout by 2 we get:

x = 13 therefore, x + 2 = 13+2
                                    = 15
 
therefore, the numbers are 13 AND 15</span>
