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

A. Economic theory describes the relationship between inflation and unemployment as:
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

1: The correction option is B) Negative

Explanation

In economic theory, the Philips curve depicts the relationship between unemployment and inflation as a negative one. In order words, when inflation goes up, unemployment reduces.

The logic behind that thinking is, that inflation, which is the general increase in prices of goods/commodities and services is good for business. Business owners are quick to adjust to higher prices regardless of how it is induced and sometimes even profit from it in sectors not affected by inflation. So in such sectors, as business improves,  it is assumed that there is a requirement to being in more hands to help with the expansion of the business.

2. The correct option is B) Holds for certain time periods

Explanation

Social scientists and researchers have plotted the data across various periods (20 years) using data from the US economy.

The following results emerged:

  • the traditional relationship between inflation and unemployment held in 2001 during the mild recession triggered by the 9/11 situation. Unemployment took an upward spiral averaging an increase of 6% while inflation nosedived by 2.5%;
  • Another snapshot was taken in the mid-2000s. This time unemployment went belly-up by several degrees, while inflation took off in the opposite direction by almost 5% before receding in 2006 when unemployment bottomed;
  • In another analysis, the consumer price index took a steep downward dive during the Great Recession. This time, unemployment took a bullish charge, going up as much as 10%
  • This negative relationship failed to hold between 2012 to 2015. Both factors developed a positive relationship and moved in the same direction;
  • There has also been a loss of strength in the negative relationship as also seen in recent times. Specifically, between 2016 to 2019 where unemployment has steadily receded to 50-year lows, with inflation remained steady at an average of 2%.  

So the correct answer is B.

3. The correct answer is True:

Explanation

As seen from the analysis above, the negative relationship remains largely true for most of the periods examined. Hence it is more pragmatic to expect a dip in unemployment whenever there is a spike in the CPI.

What’s the correct answer for this?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

tan x= 6/8

usually tan θ = perpendicular / base

So,

we get perpendicular = 6, base = 8

Now using Pythagorean Theorem to find hypotenuse

hyp² = base² + Perp²

hyp² = 8² + 6²

hyp²= 64 + 36

hyp²=100

Taking sq root on both sides

hypotenuse = 10

Now

sin θ = Perpendicular / Hyp

sin x = 6 / 10

Now

cos θ = base / Hyp

cos x = 8 / 10

The seating capacity of a theater is 250. Tickets are $3 for children and $5 for adults. The theater must take in at least $1100
maksim [4K]

Answer:

x + y ≤

3x + 5y ≥ 1100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Seating capacity of theater = 250

Cost of each child ticket = $3

Cost of each adult ticket = $5

Cost per performance = $1100 at least

Find:

System of inequalities

Computation:

Let;

x = Number of children's tickets

y = Number of adult tickets

So

x + y ≤

3x + 5y ≥ 1100
