Write and solve an equation:
Total earnings = $782.75 = s(40 hrs) + 1.5*s*(7 hrs)
Then 782.75 = 40s + 10.5s = 50.5s
Dividing both sides by 50.5: s = 15.5. The attendant's regular hourly wage was $15.50.
Answer:
(2 x)/15
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
(4 x)/5 - (2 x)/3
Put each term in (4 x)/5 - (2 x)/3 over the common denominator 15: (4 x)/5 - (2 x)/3 = (12 x)/15 - (10 x)/15:
(12 x)/15 - (10 x)/15
(12 x)/15 - (10 x)/15 = (12 x - 10 x)/15:
(12 x - 10 x)/15
12 x - 10 x = 2 x:
Answer: (2 x)/15
