Answer:
Unclear
Step-by-step explanation:
I believe we need more information to solve the problem!
We currently have:
a = b
b = total amount for 40 hours
As you can see, we cannot solve this. For a we would need something like how much you make per week, etc!
Given:
buy a house in 9 years.
Estimated cost of the house = 175,800
down payment = 20%
closing cost = 7%
down payment:
175,800 x 20% = 35,160
closing cost:
175,800 x 7% = 12,306
Amount to save: 35,160 + 12,306 = 47,466
monthly savings:
9 years x 12 months = 108 months
47,466 / 108 = 439.50 savings per month.
To solve this problem you need to do a proportion. First you do 15 over x= 75 over 100. Now you multiply 15 by 100 which is 1500. Next, you divide 1500 by 75. YOUR ANSWER IS 20 peaches. To check your work, you could divide 20 by 4 which is 5. 5 times 3= 15 peaches.
