Adrian works full time at the office supply store. He earns $525 each week. He wants to raise his income to at least $650 each w
eek, so he takes on a part-time job which pays $12 per hour. How many hours would Adrian need to work each week at his part-time job in order to raise his total weekly income to at least $650?
Answer:The total number of hours worked in the week is 46. The hourly pay would be 40(14) + 6(21) = $686 per week. The annual earnings are 52(686) = $35,672. The salary pay is more than the hourly pay based on the typical hours worked each week given in the table. Therefore, the employee would probably want to choose the salaried pay.
This is the concept of trigonometry, the distance from the foot of the ladder will be given by: tan theta=[opposite]/[adjacent] opposite=17 ft adjacent=x ft theta=37° thus tan 37=17/x x=17/tan 37 x=22.56 ft =22.6 ft (to the nearest 10th of a foot)
