Answer:
d = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Perhaps you want to solve for d:
(0.3d -1.5)/(3 1/3) = 0.84/(7/15)
Change the division by a fraction to multiplication by its inverse.
(0.3d -1.5)·(3/10) = (0.84)·(15/7)
0.09d -0.45 = 1.8 . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
d - 5 = 20 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.09
d = 25 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 5

Grouping symbols help show what is being divided by what. Especially where mixed numbers are involved, parentheses help show that the number 3 1/3 is not supposed to be interpreted as the product of 3 and 1/3.
It’s 49 is equal to 7 times 7
Ok so to solve this problem we're going to need to find out how much money they made (their revenue) and the subtract the cost of paying the employees.
So, let's start by finding their revenue
Step 1: Multiply the cost of each beverage by the number sold
Coffees: 20 x 2.85 = 57
Lattes: 17 x 4.80 = 81.6
Step 2: add up the money made from the coffees and the money made from the lattes to get the total revenue
57 + 81.6 = 138.6
So the shop made $138.60 on Tuesday. Let's set that aside while we find out how much the shop's costs were.
Step 3: Find the price of paying two employees for 6 hours
2 x 6 x 14.5 = 174
So the shop had to pay the employees $174.00 for working there.
Step 4: Find the overall profit/loss by subtracting the cost from the revenue
138.6 - 174 = -35.4
So the shop had a loss of $35.40 on Tuesday.
Hope that helps! Feel free to leave a comment or send me a message if I can clarify anything :)
