Answer:

$87.5  more did Alex earn in one month than Ben

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Last year Alex earned a monthly salary of $250,and Ben earned monthly salary of $180.

This year, each of them received a pay increase of 25% .

25% is written in the decimal form.

= \frac{25}{100}

= 0.25

Increase in the Alex salary this year = 0.25 × Last year salary

                                                             = 0.25 × 250

                                                             = $62.5

Total amount of Alex salary this year for one month = Last year salary + Increase in the Alex salary this year

                                                                                      = 250 + 62.5

                                                                                      = $ 312.5

Thus the salary earn by the Alex this year for a month be $312.5.

Increase in the Ben salary this year = 0.25 × Last year salary

                                                             = 0.25 × 180

                                                             = $45

Total amount of Ben salary this year for one month = Last year salary + Increase in the Ben salary this year

                                                                                      = 180 + 45

                                                                                      = $ 225

Thus the salary earn by the Alex this year for a month be $ 225 .

Amount Alex earn in one month than Ben = Total amount of Alex salary this year for one month  - Total amount of Ben salary this year for one month

Putting the values in the above

                                                                    = $ 312.5 - $225

                                                                    = $ 87.5

Therefore $87.5  more did Alex earn in one month than Ben .

A box of granola bars has 26 bars. If 7 friends split the bars equally, how many bars will be left?
Vinvika [58]

It will be 5 because 7x3 is 21, minus 26 to 21 is 5, won't be 7x4=28 and that's greater than 26

A number has only 1 factor pair. One of its factors is twice the other factor. What is the number? Explain.
Mrrafil [7]
<h3>Answer:  2</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

If a number only has one factor pair, then that number must be prime. This is because prime numbers only have factors of 1 and the number itself.

For instance, the value 7 is prime because the only factors of this are 1 and 7.

For something like the number 32, it is composite and not prime because it has the factors {1,2,4,8,16,32} and it leads to these three factor pairs: 1*32, 2*16, 4*8. This is one example showing why the answer isn't composite.

-----------

Let's say that p is the unknown prime we want to find. The factors of this are 1 and p. We're told that "one of the factors is twice the other factor", so that must mean p = 2*1 = 2. We can see that 2 is twice that of 1.
