A patrolman spends 25% every day completing paperwork. The patrolman’s shift each day is 8 hours. How much of his time does he s

fredd [130]

Assuming the man works 8 hours straight without breaks:

25% is the same as 1/4 of something.

So, we just have to figure out what 1/4 (one quarter) of 8 equals.

You can think of it as a pizza cut into 8 slices. One slice is equivalent to one hour for the patrolman.

If we take away 1/2 (half) of the pizza, we have 4 slices, right? Since we start with 8 slices, half of that equals 4 slices. In other words, 50% (half) of the pizza = 4 slices.

Now, 25% (one quarter) of the pizza will equal half of what is left:

If we know that 50%=4 slices (or 4 hours), then 25% must be 2 slices (or 2 hours).

That's it! 25% of 8 hours = 2 hours.

***So, the patrolman spends 2 hours each day completing paperwork.***

Lets check our work:
We know 8 hours (or 8 slices)= 100%
(We know this because
8 slices = 1 whole pizza, or 100% of a pizza. Similarly,
8 hours = 1 whole shift or 100% of the man's shift ).

So

25% + 25% + 25% + 25% = 100%

If 100% of the mans shift = 8 hours:

2+2+2+2 = 8

It checks out!

Hope this helps!

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The hotel charge in each city before tax was $5125 of the first city and $3625 of the second city.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A theater group made appearances into cities the hotel charge before tax and the second city was 1500 higher than the first.

The tax of the first city was 6% and the tax of the second city was 10%.

Total hotel tax paid for two cities with $670.

Now, to find the hotel charge in each city before tax.

Let the hotel charge in first city before tax be $x.$

And the hotel charge in second city before tax be $y.$

So, as the hotel charge of the second city was 1500 higher than the first.

Thus,

$y=x-1500$ ........(1)

And as given, the tax of the first city was 6% and the tax of the second city was 10%, total hotel tax paid for two cities with $670.

6% of $x$ + 10% of $y$ = $670.

$\frac{6x}{100} +\frac{10y}{100} =670$

$0.06x+0.10y=670$

Substituting the value of $y$ from equation (1) we get:

$0.06x+0.10(x-1500)=670$

$0.06x+0.10x-150=670$

$0.16x-150=670$

Adding both sides by 150 we get:

$0.16x=820$

Dividing both sides by 0.16 we get:

$x=5125.$

The hotel charge in first city before tax = $5125.

Now, substituting the value of $x$ in equation (1) we get:

$y=x-1500$

$y=5125-1500$

$y=3625.$

The hotel charge in second city before tax = $3625.

Therefore, the hotel charge in each city before tax was $5125 of the first city and $3625 of the second city.

(a + b)(a ² - ab + b ²)

erastova [34]

Hi there!

You can use distributive property to solve this equation.

These are the list of terms you have to multiply :
a × a² = a³
a × -ab = -a²b
a × b² = ab²
b × a² = a²b
b × -ab = -ab²
b × b² = b³

add all of those terms...
a³ - a²b + ab² +a²b -ab² + b³
simplify by adding like terms... (- a²b + a²b , ab² - ab²)

a³ + b³

Hope this helped!! :)
