Answer:
Last year the cost was $28.
This year the cost is $36.
$36 - $28 = $8
Percent of increase = amount of increase ÷ original amount
$8/$28 = $0.286
$0.286 · 100 = 28.6%
There has been a 28.6% of change in the cost.
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
y = 23
<u><em>Step-by-step explanation:</em></u>
Add the numbers:
18 + 5 - y
= 23 - y
Rearrange terms:
y = 23
Let number of hours needed to work = x
Multiply number of hours by rate: 15x
Add what you already have saved:
15x + 215
This needs to equal at least 800:
The equation becomes:
15x + 215 >= 800
Solve for x:
15x + 215 >= 800
Subtract 215 from both sides
15x >= 585
Divide both sides by 15
X >= 39
They have to work at least 39 hours.
