Assuming they work until their cost become the same, obviously.
The difference between the first charge of painter A and painter B = 376 - 280 = 96.
The hourly cost difference between painter B and painter A = 15 - 12 = 3.
So, painter A in the first hour has 96 more dollars than painter B, and as every hour pass, the difference goes down by 3 (as painter B gets 3 more dollars every hour)
Therefore, it would take 96 : 3 = 32 hours for the cost to be the same
Recheck : After 32 hours, painter A has 376 + 32 x 12 = 760 (dollars)
painter B has : 280 + 15 x 32 = 760 (dollars)
Answer:x=3/2 or -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: $11.80 for another 4 panes of glass.
Step-by-step explanation: We know that 9 panes of glass cost $26.55, but we should first find how many dollars would it cost per pane of glass, or 1.
So, we can divide 26.55 by 9 to find the price per 1 pan of glass.
26.55/9 = 2.95, or $2.95 per pane of glass.
Now, we want to know how much it will cost for 4 panes of glass. Simply multiply 2.95 by 4.
2.95 x 4 = 11.8, or $11.80 for another 4 panes of glass.
Answer:
5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
First:
Convert any mixed numbers to fractions.
Then your initial equation becomes:
5/4×2/3
Applying the fractions formula for multiplication,
=5/4*2/3
=10/12
Simplifying 10/12, the answer is
=5/6
If I did the math right it would be x=66
