Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

The length of the strip of fabric is 32 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The length of the edges of the square pillow should be 8 inches.

She needs a strip of fabric four times as long as one of the pillow to make a border around the pillow.

Talia works 6 hours per day on Fridays and Saturdays each week. She earns $8.20 per hour
Simora [160]

<u>Question 1 </u>

Talia works 6 hours on Friday and 6 hours on Saturday. Total Work = 6+6 = 12 hours.

Hourly Rate = 8.20 dollars per hour.

Gross Pay = (Total Work) x (Hourly Rate) = 12 x 8.20 = 98.40 dollars.

Hence, option D is correct i.e. 98.40 dollars.

<u>Question 2 </u>

Mikey worked 8 hours on Wednesday, 6 hours on Thursday and 7 hours on Friday.

Total Work = 8+6+7 = 21 hours.

Gross Pay = 187.95 dollars.

Hourly Rate = (Gross pay)/(Total work) = (187.95)/21 = 8.95 dollars per hour.

Hence, option A is correct i.e. 8.95 dollars per hour.

<u>Question 3 </u>

Nina's Hourly Rate for first 40 hours = 12.25 dollars per hour.

Overtime rate for after first 40 hours = 1.5 x 12.25 = 18.375 dollars per hour.

Total work = 46 hours.

Gross Pay = (Hourly rate)x(first 40 hours) + (Overtime rate)x(Excess time after first 40 hours)

Gross pay = (12.25 x 40) + (18.375 x 6)

Gross pay = 490 + 110.25

Gross pay = 600.25 dollars.

Hence, option A is correct i.e. 600.25 dollars.

<u>Question 4 </u>

Tip amount = 15 dollars.

Meal cost = 75 dollars.

Tip percentage = (Tip amount / Meal cost) x 100

Tip percentage = (15 / 75) x 100 = 20%

Hence, option B is correct i.e. 20%

<u>Question 5 </u>

Weekly Salary = 844 dollars.

Commision Rate = 4% = 0.04

Last week Sales = 3250 dollars.

Last week commission on sales = 0.04 x 3250 = 130 dollars.

Gross pay = Weekly Salary + Commission amount.

Gross pay = 844 + 130 = 974 dollars.

Hence, option C is correct i.e. 974.00 dollars.

It takes Maya 30 minutes to solve 5 logic puzzles and it takes Amy 28 minutes to solve 4 logic puzzles use models to show the ra
Contact [7]

Answer:

MAYA (6 minutes)

Amy (7 minutes)

Step-by-step explanation:

MAYA

Takes Maya 30 minutes to solve 5 Puzzle:

Let's express it as,

30 mins = 5 Puzzle

1 min = x Puzzle

Cross multiply to solve for the number of questions Maya solves in a minute.

It becomes:

30*x = 5*1

30x = 5

x = 30/5

x = 6mins.

It means it takes Maya 6 mins to solve one question.

FOR AMY

Takes Amy 28 mins to solve 4 puzzles.

Let's represent it as:

28 mins = 4 Puzzles

x min = 1 puzzle

Let's solve for x

(28 mins) * (1 puzzle) = 4 * x

28 = 4x

x = 28/4

x = 7 mins

It means, it takes Amy 7 minutes to solve 1 puzzle
