I think it's 9.68 but I might be wrong
1/4 = 3/12
3/12 < 5/12
Therefore, 5/12 is greater than 1/4
Answer:
1. $427.50
2. 50 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
1. First, find your salary at minimum hours, which is $360. Then, take your second equation, plug in 45, and solve using PEMDAS. This will give you $427.50
2. To solve this, you'll need to set it up like so:
495 = 13.5 (x - 40) + 360
Your next step will be to distribute the number outside the parentheses. This will give you:
495 = 13.5x - 540 + 360
Simplify, like so:
495 = 13.5x - 180
Solve.
495 = 13.5x - 180
+180 +180
This will give you:
675 = 13.5x
Divide each side.
675 = 13.5x
------ -------
13.5 13.5
50 = x
