$20 because 10% of 40 is 10 and the price now is 40 so 2 years before would have been 20
The answer is 3/4. You divide both numbers (54 and 72) by 18 and you get 3/4. Hope it helps!
Given the following table showing the hourly wages of employees of a movie theater based on their length of employment.
<span>Length of employment (months) Hourly wage (dollars/hour)
6 months 7.55
12 months 7.85
18 months 8.15
24 months 8.45
To obtain an algebraic expression </span>that describes how much Bailey’s employer pays part-time workers, we take two points from the table.
Recall that the equation of a linear function satisfying two points

and

is given by

Given the two points (6, 7.55) and (12, 7.85), the algebraic expression relating the two points is given by

Therefore, the <span>algebraic expression that describes how much Bailey’s employer pays part-time workers is

</span>
(4 + 9 + 16 / 4) - 8 - (3 * 5)
(29 / 4) - 8 - (3 * 5) | Add up the numbers on left side.
(7.25) - 8 - (15) | Divide 29 by 4 and multiply 3 and 5.
-0.75 - (15) | Subtract 8 from 7.25
Final answer: -15.75
