Answer:

Dawn earns $9.75 per hour while Amy earns $10 per hour.  

This information is important in comparing who is actually earning more than the other. Amy is earning<em> $0.25 more than Dawn is earning.</em> Thus, working for an<em> extra 2 hours than Dawn </em>made her earn<em><u> </u></em><em><u>$22.5</u></em><em><u> more than Dawn earned in a week.</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

You can get the <em>hourly work rate </em>of Dawn and Amy by <u>dividing their </u><em><u>total earnings</u></em><u> to the</u><em><u> number of hours they worked</u></em><u>.</u>

  • Dawn = $97.50 ÷ 10 = $9.75
  • Amy = $120 ÷ 12 = $10

You can get the <u><em>difference in hourly rate</em></u> by subtracting Dawn's earning from Amy's earning.

  • $10 - $9.75 = $0.25

You can also get the<u><em> difference in their weekly earnings</em></u> by subtracting Dawn's total weekly earning from Amy's total weekly earning.

  • $120 - $97.50 = $22.5

A company produces fruity drinks that contain a percentage of real fruit juice. Drink A contains 5% real fruit juice and Drink B
Romashka [77]

Answer:

a). 12.5 liters of real fruit juice would be needed to produce 250 liters of Drink A, and 20 liters of real fruit juice would be needed to produce 250 liters of Drink B

b). 0.05aa liters of real fruit juice would be needed to produce aa liters of Drink A, and 0.1bb liters of real fruit juice would be needed to produce bb liters of Drink B  

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Drinks A(250 liters) and Drink B(200 liters)

Total amount of Drink A=250 liters

Real fruit juice=5% of Drink A=(5/100)×250=12.5 liters

12.5 liters of real fruit juice would be needed to produce 250 liters of Drink A

Total amount of Drink B=200 liters

Real fruit juice=10% of Drink B=(10/100)×200=20 liters

20 liters of real fruit juice would be needed to produce 250 liters of Drink B

b). Drinks aa and bb

Total amount of Drink A=aa liters

Real fruit juice=5% of Drink A=(5/100)×aa=0.05aa liters

0.05aa liters of real fruit juice would be needed to produce aa liters of Drink A

Total amount of Drink B =bb liters

Real fruit juice=10% of Drink 10=(10/100)×bb=0.1bb liters

0.1bb liters of real fruit juice would be needed to produce bb liters of Drink B
