Let x = cost of the dishwasher.
The amounts the children are paying are:
Mark =20% = 1/5, so 1/5x
Sorin = 75
Raymond = 1/4x
Stephanie = 75
Kristin = 1/3x
Add them together:
x = 1/5x + 1/4x + 1/3x + 75 + 75
x - ( 1/5x + 1/4x + 1/3x ) = 150
Rewrite fractions with common denominator:
x - ( 12/60x + 15/60x + 20/60x ) = 150
60/60x - 47/60x = 150
13/60x = 150
x = 150/1 • 60/13
x = 9000/13
x = 692.31
The total cost of the dishwasher is $692.31
Now calculate the amount each child pays:
Mark = 1/5 x = 692.31/ 5 = $138.46
Sorin = $75.00
Raymond = 1/4 x = 692.31 / 4 = $173.08
Stephanie = $75.00
Kristin = 1/3 x = 692.31 / 3 = $230.77
Answer:
$31.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up an equation.
$220. 28 - total
$126.53 - cost for parts
3 - # of hours
? - price per hour
3h + $126.53 = $220.28
Subtract $126.53 from both sides.
3h = $93.75
Divide by 3.
h = $31.25
The mechanic charges $31.25 per hour for labor.
Hope that helps.
You multiply the 2 values together to get 1.5*10^12
