Answer:

36 elves

Step-by-step explanation:

Using proportions

We have space for 30 more giants

30 giants x elves

------------- = ----------

120 full 144 elves full

Using cross products

30*144 = x*120

Divide each side by 120

30*144/120 = 120x/120

36 = x

We can have 36 elves

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

make proportion giants to elves

120/144 = 90/x cross multiply

120x =144*90

120x =12960 divide by 120

x = 108

so if there are 90 giants in the theater there are 108 elves also

considering that total 144 elves can be in the theater subtract 144 and 108 so 36 more elves can be admitted

Clarice Sloan is a shift supervisor for Ace

Igoryamba

The net pay is the amount left after taxes and deductions have been removed from the gross pay.

Her monthly gross pay is: $4111.93

The deductions are:

$\mathbf{FIT = \$102}$

$\mathbf{SIT = 3.2\%}$

$\mathbf{CIT = 1.8\%}$

Let her gross pay be x.

So, we have:

$\mathbf{Net = x - FIT - x \times SIT - x \times CIT}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{3804.33 = x - 102 - x \times 3.2\%- x \times 1.8\%}$

Express percentage as decimals

$\mathbf{3804.33 = x - 102 - x \times 0.032- x \times 0.018}$

$\mathbf{3804.33 = x - 102 - 0.032x - 0.018x}$

Add 102 to both sides

$\mathbf{3906.33 = x - 0.032x - 0.018x}$

$\mathbf{3906.33 = 0.95x}$

Divide both sides by 0.95

$\mathbf{4111.93 = x}$

Rewrite as:

$\mathbf{x = 4111.93 }$

Hence, her monthly gross pay is: $4111.93
