Answer:
5x+4y=85-
Slope = -2.500/2.000 = -1.250
x-intercept = 85/5 = 17
y-intercept = 85/4 = 21.25000
2x+3y=41-
Slope = -1.333/2.000 = -0.667
x-intercept = 41/2 = 20.50000
y-intercept = 41/3 = 13.66667
35.4% expressed as a decimal is .354
*Anchor: if you got 100% on your test, you got 1 whole test right.
Notice how I moved the decimal back two places to change 100% to 1
*An anchor is something that helps you remember what to do in the future. Use the anchor above to help you remember which way to move the decimal point when you change a percent to a decimal.
2 2/3 + 2 3/4 is equal to 5 5/12 so the drapes will be 5 5/12 feet long (or 5 feet 5 inches)

Answer:
$18.96
Step-by-step explanation:
Now the mechanics earn $14.2 per hour, which is 25.1% less than before.
If we say that the earnings before were 100% (to facilitate our calculation and understand better), now the earrings are (100-25.1)%=74.9%. This is, now they make the 74.9% of what they used to made.
So:
74.9% = 14.2
Let's multiply both sides by 100%/74.9% to make a 100% appear at the left side (see that multiply and divide by 74.9 will make it desapear):
74.9% *(100%/74.9%) = 14.2 * (100%/74.9%)
100% = 14.2 * (100%/74.9%)
And (100%/74.9%) is equal to 1/0.749, they are the same. So:
100% = 14.2 * 1/0.749
100% = 18.96
So, before the new manager they used to make $18.96. (you can verify by multiplying it by 74.9% and the result is 14.2)
