Answer: £ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Total hours Lena works from Monday to Friday = 34 hours

Hours she works on Saturdays = 4

Overtime rate of Saturday = 1.5 times her normal rate

Let x be the normal rate.

Then , Her total earning = 34 x + 4 \times(1.5x) =34x+6x=40x

Since her total earnings for week = £ 320

So,

320=40x\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{320}{40}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=8

Thus, her normal rate of pay per hour = £ 8

In a random population, out of 500 people, 160 had blue eyes. In a group of 2500 people, how many would have blue eyes?
Artist 52 [7]
<h3>Answer:   800</h3>

======================================================

Work Shown:

(160 with blue eyes)/(500 total) = (x with blue eyes)/(2500 total)

160/500 = x/2500

x = 2500*(160/500)

x = 800

------------

Another approach:

160/500 = 0.32 = 32% of the first group has blue eyes

Assuming this percentage is the same for any group, then,

32% of 2500 = 0.32*2500 = 800 people of the second group are estimated to have blue eyes, of the 2500 total.

It is the number of canned goods we start with.

The slope is -63.  It is how many cans that go away each day.

The equation can be written in the form

y= mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -63x +825

A warehouse worker loads a cart with 14 boxes. The boxes have an average weight of 24 pounds. The worker picks up a new box and
Alex

Answer: 39 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

At first, the warehouse worker loads a cart with 14 boxes and the boxes have an average weight of 24 pounds. The total weight of the boxes will be:

= 14 × 24

= 336 pounds

Since the worker picks up a new box and puts it on the cart and the average weight of the boxes is 25 pounds. It means that the boxes are now 15 and their total weight will be:

= 15 × 25

= 375 pounds

The weight of the new box will be:

= 375 - 336

= 39 pounds
