Step-by-step explanation:

they way it is written, she has one of the best paying jobs in the world : $1470 per hour ...

but I guess it is really $14.70 per hour, right ?

that is then her basic wage : $14.70 per hour for 40 hours = 14.7 × 40 = $588.

her overtime rate is then 14.7×1.25 (one time and a quarter) = 18.375 ≈ $18.38

and she gets that rate for all hours beyond the basic 40 hours, so, 52-40 = 12 hours.

12×18.38 = $220.56

or if you need it totally precise

12×18.375 = $220.50

in total, her gross wage for that week is then

588 + 220.56 = $808.56

or totally precise with unrounded hourly rates

588 + 220.5 = $808.50

which would create a mean hourly rate

808.56/52 = $15.54923077... per hour ≈ $15.55 per hour

or

808.5/52 = $15.54807692... per hour ≈ $15.55 per hour

many payroll systems do the rounding of the hourly rates and then calculate the total amount (as the first option here). some others keep the full decimal positions in the calculation and then only round the total (as the second option here).

so, it is the question what your teacher expects here. I cannot tell from the description.

How do i solve this step by step
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

4) x^10

Step-by-step explanation:

1) If two numbers have the same base (i.e. x^3 and x^4) and you are multiplying them you just add the exponents. Therefore x^3*x^4 would be x^(3+4) which equals x^7.

2) When dividing similar bases you have to subtract the exponents. If we have x^18÷x^8 that is equivalent to x^(18-8) which gives us x^10.

3) If we have (x^3)^3 we will need to multiply the exponents. Therefore (x^3)^3 is equivalent to x^(3*3) which gives us x^9.

4) (x^2*x^4)^4÷x^8

First do what's in the parentheses,

(x^2*x^4) = x^6

Next do the exponents,

(x^6)^3 = x^18

Lastly the division,

x^18÷x^8 = x^10

x^10 is our answer.

Carlos has received a 9% salary increase. If he now earns $654 per week, what was his salary before the increase.?
babunello [35]
So let's say he was earring x before his raise. That means that:
x times 1.09 = 654 (1.09 represents 100% (this is the 1.0) of his original salary plus 9% (this is the .09) his raise.
So,
1.09x = 654; now divide both sides by 1.09 to isolate and solve for x, and you get x = $600.

Solve the logarithmic equation . Round the answer to four decimal places . 2^x =25
levacccp [35]

Answer:

x = 4.6439

Step-by-step explanation:

2^x =25

Take the log of each side

log  2^x = log 25

We know that log a^b = b log a

x log 2 = log 25

Divide each side by log 2

x = log 25  / log 2

x =4.643856

Rounding to 4 decimal places

x = 4.6439

Maria practiced for her piano recital each day for three days. the first day she practiced for 3/4 hour, the second day she prac
ZanzabumX [31]
To make this easier, we can convert the fractions into decimals. 3/4 is 0.75. 1 and 1/2 would be 1.50 and 2 and 1/4 would be 2.25. Now, let us to the subtraction in order for us to know the difference of each. So 1.50 minus 0.75 would be 0.75. And 2.25 minus 1.50 is also 0.75. 0.75 is 3/4 and this means that she increased 3/4 hour each day.
