Mathematics

Answer:  160 hours

============================================================

Explanation:

He earns $10.00 an hour. Let x be the number of hours worked in a month. So 10x represents how much he earns after working x hours.

If he spends $800 per month on fixed expenses, and wants this to be 50% of his total earnings, then this must mean that the other 50% is for other things (eg: spending on a vacation or putting it to savings). So his goal is to earn 800+800 = 1600 dollars per month.

Set 10x equal to this and solve for x

10x = 1600

x = 1600/10

x = 160

He needs to work 160 hours a month.

-------------------------------

Extra info:

Divide 160 over 4 (the approximate number of weeks in a month) and we see that he'll need to work 160/4 = 40 hours a week

If he only works Monday through Friday, that's 5 days of the week. So he'll put in 40/5 = 8 hours per day.

So his goal of working 160 hours per month is reasonable. Keep in mind that this doesn't include factors like him missing time from work due to being sick (unless he has paid sick leave).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You are trying to find the value of K, so to do that you need to get k by itself (example : K= 3-5 instead of K+5= 3)

So in 1a i would simplify 7k-3k= 4k

then 4k=11

now to get rid of the 4 and get the k alone- you DIVIDE 4k by 4 and divide 11 by 4 cause you need to do it on both sides of the equation, it should look like this.

4k= 11

-   =  -

4      4

(4k over 4 and 11 over four)

so the answer is k = 2.75  cause 11/4 = 2.75

Challenge You have 2 different savings accounts. For Account A, the simple interest earned after 3 months is $1.60. For Account
const2013 [10]

Answer:

$1.28

Note for you:

I hope this helps!

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below;

As we know that

The simple interest is

Simple interest = Principal × rate × time

For Account A, the principal would be

2 = Principal × 3.2% × 3

So, the principal is $20.83

For account B, the principal would be

38.50 = Principal × 2.2% × 30

So, the principal is $58.33

Now the interest for both the accounts are as follows

For account 1

= $20.83 × 3.2%

= $0.67

And, for the account 2

= $58.33 × 2.2%

= $1.28

As it can be seen that the account 2 has the highest interest

The same is to be considered
