Sayed is paid $8.50 per hour for a standard 36-hour week. He is paid time-and-a-half" for all overtime worked. Calculate:

Mathematics
1 answer:
andre [41]3 years ago
7 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression of Sayed weekly earnings = 8.50t + (1.5)(8.50)p = 8.50t + 12.75p

where t is the number of hours worked regularly and p is number of hours worked overtime.

Part 1)

Given t = 36 and p = 4,

Gross Weekly earnings = 8.50(36) + 12.75(4)

= 306 + 51

=$357

Part 2)

Given Gross weekly earnings = $420.75 and t=36,

8.50(36) + 12.75p =420.75

306 + 12.75p = 420.75

12.75p = 420.75-306

12.75p = 114.75

p = 114.75÷12.75

p=9

The image is really unclear but I will assume that the number of teams given = 66
and the formula is
n = \frac{ {t }^{2} - t }{2}
plug in the number of teams
66 = \frac{ {t}^{2} - t }{2}
multiply both sides by two
132 = {t}^{2} - t
subtract 132 from both sides and factor
t = 12

What is the solution to 2x^2+8x=x^2-16?<br> x=4<br> x=22<br> x=2<br> x=4
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² + 8x = x² - 16

x² + 8x + 16 = 0

x² + 4x + 4x + 16 = 0

x(x + 4) + 4(x + 4) = 0

(x + 4)² = 0

x = -4

UPS charges $6.00 for the first pound, $1.00 for the second pound, and $0.15 for each additional pound. FedEx charges $4.00 for
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

12 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We we need to write equations to represent the situation in this problem.

x=weight of package

UPS cost=6+1+0.15(x-2)

UPS cost=6+1+0.15x-0.3

UPS cost=6.7+0.15x

FedEx cost=4+2+.25(x-2)

FedEx cost=4+2+0.25x-0.5

FedEx cost=5.5+0.25x

Next, we can set the two equations equal to each other to solve for x.

6.7+0.15x=5.5+0.25x

6.7+0.15x-5.5=5.5+0.25x-5.5

1.2+0.15x-0.15x=0.25x-0.15x

1.2/0.1=0.1x/0.1

x=12

It takes 12 pounds for the UPS and FedEx packages to cost the same amount to ship.
