Answer:

His wife gets $336 more than his son.

Step-by-step explanation:

Colin and Brian:

Ratio of 4:1.

So Colin gets \frac{4}{4+1} = \frac{4}{5} of the prize.

\frac{4*2100}{5} = 1680

Colin got $1680. Dividing between himself, his wife and their son:

Ratio of 2:5:3.

So Colin gets \frac{2}{2+3+5} = \frac{2}{10}, his wife gets \frac{5}{2+3+5} = \frac{5}{10} and his son gets \frac{3}{2+3+5} = \frac{3}{10}

Wife:

\frac{5*1680}{10} = 840

His wife got $840.

Son:

\frac{3*1680}{10} = 504

His son got $504.

How much more does his wife get over their son?

840 - 504 = 336

His wife gets $336 more than his son.

You have a need to purchase 30 units of a product and have them delivered to your company in five days. The sale price is $35 ea
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer: $1411.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sale price is $35 each and there are 30 units, the cost will be:

= $35 × 30

= $1050

We then add the sales tax on the product which is 8%. This will be:

= $1050 + (8% × $1050)

= $1050 + (0.08 × $1050)

= $1050 + $84

= $1134

We then add Shipping price which is $15. This will be:

= $1134 + $15

= $1149

We then add the 25% rush charge on the sales price. This will be:

= $1050 × 25%

= $1050 × 0.25

= $262.50

To get total cost, this will be:

= $1149 + $262.50

= $1411.50

Firdavs [7]
Ok so 1.5 is pins and 6.5 is t shirts so you multiply 1.5 x 20 and 6.5 x 5 so for pins= $30 and T-shirts= $32.50 and you times both those numbers by 3 so for pins you get $90 and T-shirts you get $97.50. Finally you add them and get $187.5 so the answer is $187.5 for the project.
