Suppose you earn $6 per hour at your part-time job.What will your new hourly rate be after a 2.5% raise? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The new hourly rate after a 2.5% raise will be $6.15.

What is the percentage?

The quantity of anything is stated as though it were a fraction of a hundred. A quarter of 100 can be used to express the ratio. Per 100 is what the term percent signifies. The symbol ‘%’ is used to symbolize it.

Suppose you earn $6 per hour at your part-time job. The new hourly rate is after a 2.5% raise.

Let x be the new hourly rate. Then the equation is given as,

x = $6 x (1 + 2.5%)

x = $6 x (1 + 0.025)

x = $6 x 1.025

x = $6.15

The new hourly rate after a 2.5% raise will be $6.15.

Answer 2

Answer: First change 2.5% to a decimal by dividing by 100. 2.5÷100=0.025. Then multiply 6 by 0.025. 6×0.025=0.15. Finally add 0.15 to 6 for the answer. 6+0.15=6.15.
So the answer is $6.15.

a garage chaged Mr Tilton $48 in parts and $36/h in labor many hours did the garage spend on Mr tilton's carr if total bill was$156

Answers

156 = 36x + 48

108 = 36x

3 = x

They spent 3 hours on the car.

48 is a constant, so we take this out first
156 - 48 = 108

Since 36 is the variable, we can divide the above result to get the amount of hours.
108/36 = 3 hours

Jim drove the 120 miles to Grandmother's house in 3 hours. He increased his speed by10 miles per hour on the way home. How long did it take him to drive home?

Answers

Ok so basically you want for this specific problem to set up a proportion. So 120 mi/3hours=x/10 miles. X is the unknown variable we are solving for so pay close attention. So now I am going to multiply 120 times 10 which is 1200 now that divided by 3 is 400. Hoped this helped !!!

Well if he drove there in 3 hour and went 120 miles then it would have took him 2 hours to get home

oscar‘s Daphnis house was shaped like a tent. The slanted sides are both 5 feet long and the bottom of the house is 6 feet across. What is the height of his dog house, in feet, at its tallest point?

Answers

Answer:

4ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, due to the shape being a triangle you could split the triangle in two to determine the height. This means that its essentially two right angle triangles beside one another with the hypotenuse being 5 ft long and its base being 3ft long. ( because we split the base by 2 so 6/2=3) Now we can perform the pythagorem theorum to solve for the wanted side (height). The pythagorem theorum is the hyptenuse squared equals one side squared plus the other side squared but considering we do not have one of those sides (height) we must re-organize the formula. SO the formula we will be using is hypotenuse squared minus side squared equals height squared.

Therefore,

5(squared) - 3(squared) = x(squared)

25-9=x(squared)

16=x(squared)

square root of 16=x

4=x

Finally, state your results... so we could say that due to our results the height of the tent would be 4 ft long.

3x + 5 = 20Name the coefficient, variable, term, constant, expression, and eqaution.

Thank You so much!!

Answers

3 = coefficient
x = variable
3x = term
5 = constant
3x + 5 = expression
3x + 5 = 20 = equation.

Ok so first lets write the equation:-

3x + 5 = 20

A coefficient is the number before any variable. So 3 is the coefficient.
A variable is a letter which stands for a number. So x is the variable
A term is a coefficient and variable together. So 3x is the term.
A constant is a number on its own. So 5 is the constant.
A expression is a mathematical phrase. So, 3x + 5 is the expression.
A equation is a way to show that 2 things are equal in math. So 3x + 5 = 20 is the equation.

So,

Coefficient = 3
Variable = x
Term = 3x
Constant = 5
Expression = 3x + 5
Equation = 3x + 5 = 20

Hope I helped ya!! xD
