Answer:
The answer is 115.2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for n
Simply both sides 11(n-1)+35=3n
Distribute (11)(n) + (11)(-1) + 35 = 3n
11n+-11+35=3n
Combine like terms (11n)+(-11+35)=3n
11n + 24 =3n
Subtract 3n from both sides
11n+24-3n=3n-3n
8n + 24 = 0
Subtract 24 from both sides
8n+24-24=0-24
8n = -24
Divide both sides by 8
8n = -24
8 8
n = -3
Just try to follow my description. When two persons are in the cabin, there is only 1 handshake. When a third person comes, he will have to handshake the two people who came before him. So, there will be 2 handshakes. When a fourth person comes, he would make 3 handshakes with the 3 people who came before him. When the fifth person comes, he would make 4 handshakes with the 4 people who came before him. So, you see there is a pattern. The number of handshakes is 1 less than the total number of people inside the cabin. So, if there are 14 people in the cabin, the last person to come in would have to make 13 handshakes with the 13 people who came in first. Obtaining the sum of all the handshakes starting from the 2 handshakes initially to the 13 handshakes, the sum would be
Total handshakes = 2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13
Total handshakes = 90
Therefore, there will be a total of 90 handshakes made within the cabin of 14 people.
To find out the amount Jenna earns, you need to multiply how much she earns per hour by the amount of hours she works for.
If she earns $8.75 for 1 hour, and works for 20 1/5 hours, she'll earn:
8.75 x 20 1/5 = 176.75
Jenna earns $176.75 before tax.
