Doug had been working 20 hours per week at a pet store for $8.00 per hour. His pay was increased to $8.50 per hour, and his hour

stellarik [79]

Answer:

$44

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how much he was making originally:

Multiply the number of hours he worked by the amount he got per hour:

20(8)

= 160

Then, find how much he gets now:

24(8.50)

= 204

To find his total weekly pay increase, find the difference between them:

204 - 160

= 44

So, his total weekly pay increase is $44

Solve 2x + 4 > 16 A. x > 10 B. x < 6 C. x < 10 D. x > 6

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Hey there! :)

2x + 4 > 16

We're simply just trying to get x onto it's own side, so let's get rid of any numbers on the same side of it.

We can start out by subtracting both sides by 4.

2x + 4 - 4 > 16 - 4

Simplify.

2x > 12

Then, divide both sides by 2.

2x ÷ 2 > 12 ÷ 2

Simplify.

x > 6

Therefore, our answer is D. x > 6

~Hope I helped!~
