Answer:
$333.33
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is a little bit confusing, but I am assuming you mean to say that the 72% of the total pay, which is the amount he took home, is $240. So, then you can set up a proportion to solve the problem.
72
Then, you multiply the proportion out, getting 
multiply the right side out and then divide by 72 to get $333.33
-(-4) = 4, so the opposite, if I understand what they mean, would be -4.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
1.
Simplify the expression by combining like terms. Remember, like terms have the same variable part, to simplify these terms, one performs operations between the coefficients. Please note that a variable with an exponent is not the same as a variable without the exponent. A term with no variable part is referred to as a constant, constants are like terms.



2.
Use a very similar method to solve this problem as used in the first. Please note that all of the rules mentioned in the first problem also apply to this problem; for that matter, the rules mentioned in the first problem generally apply to any pre-algebra problem.



3.
Use the same rules as applied in the first problem. Also, keep the distributive property in mind. In simple terms, the distributive property states the following (
). Also note, a term raised to an exponent is equal to the term times itself the number of times the exponent indicates. In the event that the term raised to an exponent is a constant, one can simplify it. Apply these properties here,







4.
The same method used to solve problem (3) can be applied to this problem.






B
Because first “reduce” both sides of the top equation by the same to simplify it. See what both sides have in common.
They both have 3 long rectangles and 2 Sm. Squares.
That leaves, 2 long rectangles = 6 squares.
Which means that each long rectangle = 3 squares
