Answer: The cost of one eraser is $0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving this problem, it's best to set up a system of equations. Let pencil = p and eraser = e.

p = $0.25 + e

8p = $6.80

Now, we can use the second equation to solve for p by dividing both sides by 8. 6.8/8 = 0.85. Therefore, p = $0.85.

Then, use the value of p to find e by plugging the value of p we just found back into the first equation we wrote. Doing so, we get $0.85 = $0.25 + e.   To solve for e, we must subtract 0.25 from both sides, giving use 0.85-0.25 = 0.6

Therefore e = $0.6, so the cost of one eraser is $0.6 or 60 cents.

Tyra makes $21.40 per hour at her job for the first 40 hours and $32.10 for anything over 40 hours. if tyra typically works 45 h
Debora [2.8K]
She works for 40 hours, and then 5 hours.
So, for these first 40 hours, Tyra earns $21.40 per hour. We can find how much she earns in 40 hours:

21.40 x 40 = 856.
So, in the first 40 hours, she makes $856.

Now, for any number of hours Tayra works more that 40 hours, she will earn $32.10 each hour.

She works 5 hours over 40 hours, since it is 45 hours in total.
Hence, Tayra will earn $32.10 every hour for the 5 hours:

5 x 32.10 = 160.5.
Therefore, she will earn $160.50 for the 5 hours.

Now we have both of the earning amounts that make up how much she makes in the 45 hours. We can add them together

40 hours + 5 hours = 45 hours.
Substitute the amounts in the hours.

856 + 160.5 = 1016.5.

Thus, the answer is that Tyra will warn $1,016.50 in the total 45 hours.
Ergo, the correct answer is C.

Hope this helps, let me know if you need anything else! :)

Please help! It is Geometry

Answer:

X=20; pqr = 130°

Step-by-step explanation:

They key here is to notice that the instructions say that qs bisects pqr, meaning that it evenly cuts it into 2 pieces. So, to find x, you just solve for x in the equation 3x+5=2x+25. Then, you plug it back into either side of the equation, at which point, you should get 65. Since it is half of pqr, just double it to get your final answer of 130°
