Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
A spreadsheet is a useful tool for keeping track of the numbers. A picture of one is attached.
We have assumed that the dollar amount for housing computed in the first part remains the same (though the percentage changes). If that is not the case, you'll have to recompute.
Likewise, we assume that the "5%" retirement amount remains 5% of the nominal salary, rather than 5% of the salary after the mandatory retirement deduction. Similarly, we assume dance lessons remain at their original amount, and were not reduced when the company began taking mandatory retirement.
Feel free to build your own spreadsheet and recompute as needed for any assumptions I got wrong, or for any additional scenarios.
Answer:
(3x+5y)/8
Step-by-step explanation:
The total amount is 150+250=400
We then do (3x+5y)/2 × 1/400
This equals (3x+5y)/800
We multiply that by 100 giving us the final answer.
3p to shape and 10 minutes to fire
= 3p + 10
3x10 + 10 = 40 minutes for a batch of 10 pots
therefore D is the correct answer
