Answer:
#1.---60% #2.---$12.60 per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
#1. Since It was originally $50 you have 50% already, so what I did was I multiplied 50 by 2. this got me 100 which is a simpler way to calculate by. 50 to 80 dollars is a $30 change, so multiply that by 2 and you get 60. 60 will be your percent of change. You can double check this by multiplying 50 by .60, the answer will be 30 and 50+30=80
#2 Since Tyler starts off with $12 per hour with a 5% increase you will need to multiply 12*.05 this will get you the answer of 0.6 you then need to add $12, since that was his original payment. 12+0.6=12.60, so his final payment would by $12.60 per hour
The dimensions that would result to maximum area will be found as follows:
let the length be x, the width will be 32-x
thus the area will be given by:
P(x)=x(32-x)=32x-x²
At maximum area:
dP'(x)=0
from the expression:
P'(x)=32-2x=0
solving for x
32=2x
x=16 inches
thus the dimensions that will result in maximum are is length=16 inches and width=16 inches
