Answer:
He must work 52 days to pay for a single ticket.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved using proportions.
Per hour:
Joel earns $7.25 per hour, 20% of which is deducted for taxes. So without taxes, in each hour, he earns 100%-20% of 80% of this, so 0.8*7.25 = $5.8.
Per day:
He works 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, so 8 hours a day.
For each hour, he earns $5.8.
So in a day, he makes 8*5.8 = $46.4
How many days he must work:
The ticket costs $2400.
He makes $46.4 a day.
So, to buy a ticket, he needs to work:
2400/46.4 = 51.7 days
Rounding up
He must work 52 days to pay for a single ticket.
I believe if Socratic is right the answer is -x+4y=8
STEP 1:
Find percentage. 57 out of 100 is the percentage to multiply by.
57/100= 0.57 (= 57%)
STEP 2:
Multiply percentage by the total gallons ordered (24).
=24 gallons * 0.57
=13.68 gallons
ALTERNATIVE METHOD (use which works best for you)
Set up a proportion. 57 to 100 is x out of 24 gallons.
x= number skim gallons to order
57/100= x/24
cross multiply
(57*24)= (100*x)
1368= 100x
divide both sides by 100
13.68 gallons= x
ANSWER: Since you cannot order a partial gallon of milk, round up to 14 whole gallons
