Answer: 6.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation for each case:

Happy paws: the cost is equal to the fixed charge (19) plus the product of the charge per hour (3.50) and the number of hours (h).

Happy Paws Cost = 19+3.50h

Woof Watchers: the cost is equal to the fixed charge (11) plus the product of the charge per hour (4.75) and the number of hours (h).

Woof Watcher Cost = 11+ 4.75h

Since both costs must be equal:

Happy Paws Cost =Woof Watcher Cost

So:

19+3.50h = 11+ 4.75h

Solving for h:

19-11 = 4.75h-3.50h

8 = 1.25h

8/1.25 =h

h = 6.4 hours

A company recently downsized its number of employees by 30​%. If there are still 70 ​employees, how many employees were there pr
wolverine [178]
Hello there! Given there are 70 employees after downsizing by 30%, let x equal the number of employees prior to the layoffs:

70 would have to be 70% of x.

To find what 70 is 70% of, we can multiply by 100 because 100 is the base denominator:

70 • 100 = 7,000

Given this equation, we can now divide our result by 70 to get what the amount of employees before the layoffs is:

7,000 divided by 70 gives us 100.

x = 100

Now, we can plug our answer in to see if it makes sense.

Does 70/100 represent 70%?

Yes, it does. 70/100 reduces to 7/10, and by adding 3/10 to our 70%, we get the initial amount of employees.

Your final answer: There were 100 employees prior to the layoffs. If you have any extra questions, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
