Answer is a, 57.49.
17.42-12.60-9.62= $-4.80+62.29=57.49
Step-by-step explanation:
(1,1.5) is the solution but (12,4) is not the solution of given equation.
1.5=1/4×1+5/4(which is true)
4=1/4×12+5/4(which is false)
Hourly rate:
39(1.3r) = 541.80
(hours times hourly rate equals profit)
then solve
1.3r = 13.89
r = 10.69
the hourly rate is $10.69
to answer the bottom question, 390 + 117 = 507, but that’s not close to 541.80 so I have no idea what they’re asking there
