Answer: 2 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A.
Amount of money earned = Regular rate per hour *
Number of working hours
M = 12 x
Part B.
Amount of wages earned = Regular rate per hour *
Maximum number of regular working hours + Overtime rate per hour * Excess
working hours
T = 12 * 30 + 16 * y
T = 360 + 16 y
or
T = 16 y + 360
Part C.
Given T = 408, find y:
408 = 16 y + 360
y = 3 hrs
Therefore the total hours Gary worked that week
is,
<span>x + y = 30 + 3 = 33 hrs </span>
<span>(x = 30 since that is the maximum limit for regular working
hours)</span>
3/7 = 9/x
cross multiply because thats how u solve proportions
(3)(x) = (7)(9)
3x = 63
x = 63/3
x = 21
and if u will notice : 3/7 and 9/21 ....9/21 reduces to 3/7....so these are equivalent fractions...because proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions
-4+3x= 2x +3x +3
-4-3= 2x + 3x -3x
-7 =2x
X= -7/2
