Answer:

She is paid $6.25.hour at the concession and $8.50 as a lifeguard.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know:

18 hours as a lifeguard

12 hours at concession

Total earned = $228

18L + 12C = 228

Then:

24 hours as a lifeguard

8 hours at concession

Total earned = $254

24L + 8C = 254

Move one equation around to get one variable by itself: in this case we can solve for L:

18L + 12C = 228

18L = 228 - 12C

L = (228/18) - (12/18)C

Plug in for L:

24((228/18) - (12/18)C) + 8C = 254

Solve for C:

C = 6.25

Now that we know C, plug in value for C and solve for L:

18L + 12(6.25) = 228

L = 8.5

So she is paid $6.25.hour at the concession and $8.50 as a lifeguard.

How would you do 13 as a exponential
Ksenya-84 [330]

Hello! Welcome to Brainly! Let's solve together. :)

To put a number into scientific notation, you multiply it by a power of 10 that will make it a digit 1-10.

As you can see, we can divide by 10, or multiply by 1/10 to get us to 1.3, which is between 1 and 10. How would we get 1.3 to 13? We would multiply by 10!

This gives us our answer below.

1.3(10^{1})

I hope this helps!
