Answer:
B. $8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total payment, T = $160
Hourly rates = $t/hour
= total payment/total time worked
The question said, "worked 12 more hours than the amount she is paid per hour".
Total time worked = (12 + t) hour
Therefore, Hourly rates of payment, t = 160/(12 + t)
t^2 + 12t - 160 = 0
Solving the above quadratic equation,
t = -20 and 8
t = $8
Answer:
$78.72
Step-by-step explanation:
To find 30% of the original value, we need to turn this percentage into a decimal or a fraction and then multiply it by the original value
- 30% is equivalent to 0.30,
, and
- So we can use either of these values. I will use 0.30 for simplicity
- ($262.40)(0.30) = $78.72 is the amount saved
