Determine how much money did the carpenter start with

The total money with the carpenter is $318.4

Given:

let

x = <em>total money with the carpenter</em>

<em>Bags of sand</em> = 7/8 of x

= 7/8x

<em>Money remaining</em> = x - 7/8x

= (8x-7x) / 8

= 1/8x

<em>Bags of bunting bags</em> = 1/2 of 1/8x

= 1/2 × 1/8x

= 1/16x

<em>Money left </em>= $19.90

<em>Total money = bags of sand + bag of bunting flag + money left</em>

x = 7/8x + 1/16x + 19.90

x = (14x + x) / 16 + 19.90

x = 15/16x + 19.90

x - 15/16x = 19.90

16x - 15x / 16 = 19.90

x/16 = 19.90

divide both sides by 1/16

x = 19.90 ÷ 1/16

= 19.90 × 16/1

= 318.4

Therefore, the total money with the carpenter is $318.4

What is the solution set for the inequality x &lt; -2 or x &gt; 6
bija089 [108]

he solution set is

{ x ∣ x > 1 } .


Explanation

For each of these inequalities, there will be a set of

x

-values that make them true. For example, it's pretty clear that large values of

x

(like 1,000) work for both, and negative values (like -1,000) will not work for either.

Since we're asked to solve a "this OR that" pair of inequalities, what we'd like to know are all the

x

-values that will work for at least one of them. To do this, we solve both inequalities for

x

, and then overlap the two solution set

Azila is a salesgirl for a cosmetic product. Her salary is RM375 per week with 5% commission of her weekly sales. What is the le
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

RM3,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Salary=RM375 per week

5% commission per week

If she target a minimum of RM 550.

Let x=minimum Sales

RM550=RM375 + 5% of x

RM550=RM375 + 0.05x

RM550 - RM375=0.05x

RM175=0.05x

Divide both sides by 0.05

RM175/0.05=0.05x/0.05

RM3,500=x

For Azila to earn a minimum of RM550 in a week, her salary will be RM375 plus 5% commission on the sales of RM3,500 value of product.

Check:

5% of RM3,500

=0.05*3,500

=RM175

Plus

Salary of RM375

RM175 + RM375=RM550
