Items bought in total:
4 brothers X two hot dogs and one bag of chips=
4X3=
12.
Hot dogs- x, chips- y.
4y + 8x= $18.20
Chips= $1.25 each so
4($1.25) + 8x= $18.20
5 + 8x= $18.20
8x= $18.20-5
8x= $13.20
x= $13.20/8 [13.20 divided by 8]
x= $1.65
This means that one hot dog= $1.65.
If you’re unsure what to write as the answer I’d suggest that you put all the working out down in your copy/notes.
1,250 is more then 1.25 because it’s a greater number
Disclaimer- this is all assuming that "semi monthly" means twice a month. if it doesn't, ignore this answer
A- if semi monthly is half a month, then 4 times 2 is 8, and 8 times 12 is 96,000.
B- If there are 4 weeks in a month and 4000$ accounts for half of that pay, then the weekly pay is 2000, making the bi-weekly pay 1000.
C- The monthly pay is 8,000$ because 4,000 x 2 is 8,000
D- The weekly pay is 2,000$ because the monthly pay is 8,000$ and there are 4 weeks in a month
E- I do not know the hours at this job and therefore cannot answer this
