If this job pays 1100 a week, in four weeks Cherie would make 4400. If she’s giving a 30% cut to the agency for four weeks, she’d be giving 330 of every weeks paycheck. At the end of those four weeks, she’d end up giving $1,320 to the agency.
Answer: b = 17
Step-by-step explanation: The figure shows a triangle which upon closer observation is actually two triangles placed one inside the other. We have triangle QTR (the larger one) and triangle PTS (the smaller one).
The line PS is parallel to line QR, so in effect what we have here are two similar triangles. The ratios of similarity can be derived as
Line QT/line TR = line PT/line TS OR
Line QT/line QR = line PT/line PS.
With these ratios in mind we can now write the following expressions from the similar triangles;
QT = 2b + (2b - 17) and
TR = 16 + 8
TR = 24
Hence,
2b/16 = 2b + (2b - 17)/24
(That is, PT/TS = QT/TR)
2b/16 = (4b - 17)/24
By cross multiplication we now have,
2b(24) = 16(4b - 17)
By expanding the brackets we now have
48b = 64b - 272
By collecting like terms, 64b now moves to the left side of the equation and becomes negative
48b - 64b = -272
-16b = -272
Divide both sides of the equation by -16
b = 17
**Note** A negative number divided by another negative number yields a positive answer.
Answer:
y = 40 x = 80
Step-by-step explanation:
520 = 3.25x + 6.5y x+y=120
x+y=120
x = 120-y
520 = 3.25(120-y)+6.5y
520 = 390-3.25y+6.5y
520 = 390+3.25y
130=3.25y
Divide each side by 3.25
40 = y
x = 120-y
x = 120-(40)
x = 80
