Answer:
$18.96
Step-by-step explanation:
Now the mechanics earn $14.2 per hour, which is 25.1% less than before.
If we say that the earnings before were 100% (to facilitate our calculation and understand better), now the earrings are (100-25.1)%=74.9%. This is, now they make the 74.9% of what they used to made.
So:
74.9% = 14.2
Let's multiply both sides by 100%/74.9% to make a 100% appear at the left side (see that multiply and divide by 74.9 will make it desapear):
74.9% *(100%/74.9%) = 14.2 * (100%/74.9%)
100% = 14.2 * (100%/74.9%)
And (100%/74.9%) is equal to 1/0.749, they are the same. So:
100% = 14.2 * 1/0.749
100% = 18.96
So, before the new manager they used to make $18.96. (you can verify by multiplying it by 74.9% and the result is 14.2)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
9x+
=x-13
9x*3+1/3=x-13
27x+1/3=x-13
27x+1=3(x-13)
27x+1=3x-39
27x-3x=-39-1
24x=-40
x=-5/3
x=-5/3
The sum of gains is
... (14 yd) + (-32 yd) + (3 yd) + (-19 yd)
... = (14 +3 -19 -32) yd . . . . . . it is often convenient to rearrange the numbers to facilitate mental arithmetic
... = (-2 -32) yd
... = -34 yd
The net change of position was -34 yards.
X=root(12+root(12+root(...)))
x^2=12+root(12+root(12+root(...)))
x^2=12+x
x^2-x-12=0
(x+3)(x-4)=0
X=4
