So,
All you have to do is find the total labor cost and put it over the revenue.
We have two workers each earning $8/hr. (lousy), and they work 40 hrs./week.
2 * $8 = $16/hr.
$16/hr. * 40 hrs. = $640

Cross out zeros.

Simplify.



Convert the denominator to 100.


=
32%
The labor cost is 32% of the revenue.
The elimination method is a sufficient way to solve problems.
2x+y= 20
6x-5y=12
Add 5y to the one equation.
2x+6y= 20
6x= 12
Subtract 2x from both sides.
6y= 20
4x= 12
Divide 6 by 20.
y= 3.3
Divide 4 by 12.
x= 3
I hope this helped you!

Answer:
42
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be "x"
We translate the word equation to algebraic equation.
First,
subtract 6 from me, so we have:
x - 6
Now,
Multiply by 2, so we have:
2(x-6)
Now,
Subtract 40, then divide by 4:

Now, you get "8", so equate this to 8, we get:

We now solve using algebra:

The number is 42
