Remark
You sure do have to read that a couple of times.
The quotient is an answer after a division takes place So you are dividing x/3
When you have figured out that phrase you add six onto it.
(x/3) + 6 > 14 Subtract 6 from both sides.
(x/3) +6 - 6 > 14 - 6
(x/3) > 8 Now multiply by 3
x > 8*3
x > 24 <<<<<< Answer
The answer is .5 meaning half (1/2) of the petals fell off.
Hourly rate:
39(1.3r) = 541.80
(hours times hourly rate equals profit)
then solve
1.3r = 13.89
r = 10.69
the hourly rate is $10.69
to answer the bottom question, 390 + 117 = 507, but that’s not close to 541.80 so I have no idea what they’re asking there
