Answer:

Jack will save $7248 in 2 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we know that Betty saves $161 a month, but it's $141 less than Jack saves each month.

Adding $141 to $161 let's us know how much Jack saves.

$141 + $161 = $302

Jack saves $302 each month.

There are 24 months in 2 years.

$302 × 24 = $7248.

Hope that helped!

Given that Betty saves $161 per month which is $141 less than Jack per month. find the amount that Jack will save in 2 years.

First, find how much Jack saves. We can do this buy adding 141 to 161 since Betty saves 141 less meaning we can reverse it by adding it.

141 + 161 = 302

Now, that we know how much Jack saves per month.

Then, we have to find out how many months are in 2 years.

We already know that there is 12 months in a year, so for 2 years, we can simply multiply by 2.

12 x 2 = 24

Therefore, there are 24 months in two years.

Lastly, multiply 24 months by the amount that Jack saves to get the amount in total.

24 x 302 = 7,248

Thus, Jack will save approximately $7,248 in 2 years.

Brrunno [24]

<h2>Given↷</h2>

Amount paid per hour ⇢$18.65
Working hour in 2 weeks⇢80

The straight time pay

<h2>Answer</h2>

$1,492

<h2>Solution ↷</h2>

To find the straight time pay for two weeks,

we'll multiply the amount per hour to the number of working hours

hence,

Straight time pay ⇢$18.65 x 80
Straight time pay⇢$ 1,492

___________________________________

The Straight time pay of one week would be ,

⇢40 x $18.65
⇢$746

___________________________________

Straight time pay of a month would be,

⇢160 x $18.65
⇢$2,984

Describe how (2 cubed) (2 superscript negative 4) can be simplified.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

<u>Given</u>:

The given expression is $(2^3)(2^{-4})$

We need to determine how the expression can be simplified.

<u>Simplifying the expression:</u>

Let us determine how the expression can be simplified.

The expression is given by

$(2^3)(2^{-4})$

Applying the exponent rule that $a^{b} \cdot a^{c}=a^{b+c}$ in the above expression, we get;

$2^{3} \cdot 2^{-4}=2^{3-4}$

Adding the exponents, we get;

$2^{3} \cdot 2^{-4}=2^{-1}$

Again, applying the exponent rule $a^{-1}=\frac{1}{a}$ , we get;

$2^{3} \cdot 2^{-4}=\frac{1}{2}$

Thus, the simplified expression is $\frac{1}{2}$

Hence, the expression is simplified by adding the exponents and keep the same base. Then find the reciprocal and change the sign of the exponent.

Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.

Simplify: |3 – 8| - (12 divided by 3 + 1) to the power of 2

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the following equation is correct, begin by solving the operations within parentheses and absolute value expressions.

|3 - 8| - $(\frac{12}{3+1} )^2$

|-5| - $(\frac{12}{4} )^2$

The absolute value of -5 is 5; -5 is five units away from 0. 12/4 is equal to 3.

5 - $3^2$

5 - 9 = -4

The simplified expression is equal to -4.
