Answer:
360 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the unknown number to be = x
Then, based on the information's already given in the question the equation can be written as
7x - 12 = 16
7x = 16 + 12
7x = 28
x = 28/7
= 4
So from the above deduction we can conclude that the unknown number in the question is 4. I hope the procedure is simple enough for you to understand.You can always use this method in future for solving similar problems.
Answer:
Greta will be earning 3.6/h more at her new job.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the difference subract Greta‘s salary from her current job from Greta’s salary from her future job.
To find Greta’s salary (numerator) at her future job divide her current weekly salary ($729) by 45h then multiply that answer (16.2) by the increase in salary 10% or 1.1. You should end up with $17.82- this is your numerator. To find the denominator divide her current hours (45h) by 45 then multiply that answer (1) by 0.9 which is the 10% decrease in hours. Now you have a fraction ($17.82/0.9) then multiply that fraction by 1.1/1.1 to get the denominator to 1 hour so you can subtract the fractions. You should end up with $19.8/h.
Now subtract Greta’s current salary ($16.2/h)- you just take the numbers from the first part before you increase or decrease- from her future salary ($19.8/h), you will end up with 3.6/h.
I was challenged to write this in a single equation:
[((($729\45h)x1.1)/((45h\45)x0.9))x1.1/1.1]-[($729\45h)/(45h\45)]
=$3.6/h
/ means a fraction bar
\ means division
Also I am just a student so please tell me if you find any mistakes I could fix or any suggestions to make this a better explanation, and if you have any questions ask away.
For x you simplify both sides of the equation, then isolate the variable
X= 3/2
