<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u><em>As a percent, the odds of having an allergic reaction would be 2%.</em></u>

This is because 1 in 50 of a chance, is equal to 1/50, and to make this a percent out of 100, just multiply both parts of the fraction by 2.

None of the choices equal 1/50, so let's just make it a percentage anyway.

1/50 ---> 0.02

0.02 ---> 2%

<em>The answer is 2%, or 1/50 as a fraction.</em>

Joanna, the line manager at Smedley Electronics, works 14 hours a week more than her line workers and gets paid $6.50 more per h

chubhunter [2.5K]

Given:
Joanna :
works 14 hrs a week more than her line workers.
gets paid 6.50 more per hour than her line workers.

Line workers: h = hours per week ; d = dollars per hour.

Line worker = Dollar per hour * number of hours.
Joanna = (Dollar per hour + 6.50)(number of hours + 14 hours)

Line worker:
$576 = d * 36 hours
$576/36 = d
$16 = d hourly rate of line worker.

Joanna:
$16 + 6.50 = $22.50 hourly rate
36hrs + 14hrs = 50 hours per week.

Weekly pay of Joanna: $22.50 * 50 = $1,125
