_____
7.75 | 125
we want to get rid of that decimal....so we move it 2 spaces to the right....by doing that, we also have to move the decimal under the division sign by 2 spaces to the right....turning ur problem into :
16.1 R 225 <== ur answer

Part a:
this is really just intuition. you can go either way as long as you back up what you say.
either you think hunter would be faster because he starts out with a lot more money, or you think amado would be faster because he earns a lot more.
part b:
let x be the number of hours hunter works, and y the number that amado works.
they both need to earn 600 dollars.
hunter's money is modelled by 150 + 7.5x
to get 600 dollars
150 + 7.5x = 600
7.5x = 450
x = 60
amado's money is modelled by 12y
to get 600 dollars
12y = 600
y = 50
hunter would need to work 60 hours to make enough money, but amado would only need to work 50, so hunter will take longer.
then say whether this agrees with what you guessed in part a
C - 0.17c = 0.83c
When you write “c” at the start, or x or whatever, it has an understood (invisible) number 1. So you’re subtracting the decimal on the next variable from 1.
You just multiply g(x) and f(x) together and it gives you C :)
