Answer: 14 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cat's age when it died = x.
Therefore, the child's age is 2 + x because he/she got the cat when he/she was 2 years old.
We can set up an equation.
x + (2+x) = 30
2x + 2 = 30
2x = 28
Therefore, x = 14
1 .Fridays and Saturdays, she works 16 hours
16 x $9.70 = $155.20

2. 7 hours on Wednesday, 6 hours on Thursday, and 9 hours on Friday. His gross pay for all three days was $196.90

3.hourly rate of $11.28 per hour worked 46 hours last week. She works overtime for hours exceeding 40 hours in a week. She is paid overtime at a rate of time and a half. What was her gross pay last week?
$11.28 x 40 = $451.20 ---normal 40 hours paid
46 - 40 = 6 (6 hours over time)
11.28 + 11.28/ 2 = $16.92 (overtime pays a rate of time and a half)
6 * $16.92 = $101.52
$451.20(40hours) + $101.52(6hours overtime) = $552.72
answer: her gross pay last week was $552.72

Answer:
1 7/8 quarts
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount Yuan has left can be found by multiplying the original amount by the fraction he has left.
__
<h3>used</h3>
After using 1/2 of the broth for soup, the fraction remaining is ...
1 -1/2 = 1/2
The amount Yuan used for gravy is 1/4 of this, or ...
(1/4)(1/2) = 1/8 . . . of the original amount of broth
The total fraction Yuan used was ...
fraction used = fraction for soup + fraction for broth = 1/2 +1/8 = 5/8
<h3>remaining</h3>
Then the fraction remaining is ...
fraction remaining = 1 - fraction used = 1 - 5/8 = 3/8.
The amount remaining is this fraction of the original amount:
(3/8)(5 quarts) = 15/8 quarts = 1 7/8 quarts . . . . remaining
