Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When you normally find a percentage of something you multiply. So, if you do the reverse operation, or divide, you'll get your answer.

18/24% is 75. And when you double check this by multiplying 75 by 24% you get 18. So, the bag of skittles had a total of 75 skittles.

Tim Hortons is hiring and offers $200 every week plus $5 per hour. McDonalds offers $300 every week plus $2 per hour. State the

Answer: After working for 33 $\frac{1}{3}$ hours a week

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us write equations to represent these two places. Let x be hours worked and y be money earned.

Tim Hortons:

$200 + $5x = y

McDonalds:

$300 + $2x = y

Now, to find the conditions of which Tim Hortons is the better employer (on the basis of money earned) we must find the interval that Tim Hortons pays more. This can be found by setting up another equation, or by graphing. I have shown both. See attached for the graph.

$200 + $5x > $300 + $2x

$5x > $100 + $2x

$3x > $100

x > $\frac{100}{3}$
