Using proportions, Nelly's total pay for last week was of £220.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.
From Monday to Friday, she worked 17 hours, hence:
- For 15 hours, she was paid £8 per hour.
- For the last 2 hours, she was paid £10 per hour.
On Saturday, she worked 5 hours, and was paid £16 per hour.
Hence her total payment is found as follows:
15 x 8 + 2 x 10 + 5 x 16 = £220.

Answer:
<em>The combined average of Altuve's weighted averages is 1 for 2 or 1/2</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Combined Average</u>
On Friday, Altuve had 3 out of 5 successes
On Saturday, Altuve had 2 out of 4 successes
On Friday, Altuve had 1 out of 3 successes
The total successes are 3+2+1=6
The total tries are 5+4+3=12
The combined average is:

Simplifying:

The combined average of Altuve's weighted averages is 1 for 2 or 1/2
£2.700 - £1890 = £810
<span>£ (money) -------------- percentage (%)
</span>2.700 -------------------- 100
810 ----------------------- x
2700*x = 810*100
2700x = 81000


Answer:
Percentage loss = 30%
