The employees at retail store earn $8.75 per hour. They can earn 1.5 times their hourly wage for every hour they work over 40 in

a week. If an employee works 52 hours in a week, how much did they earn for that week?

8.75 an hour would be 350 for 40 hours.

8.75 x 1.5 = 13.13

13.13 x 12 = $158

so 350+158=508

so 508, probably 480ish after taxes for US

If the temperature decreases by 2 degrees per 1000 feet of gained altitude and if the temperature at sea level is 25 degrees wha

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

-45 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

35,000 ÷ 1000 = 35. This means 1000 feet will be gained 35 times. 35 × 2 = 70. This means 70 degrees will be lost as altitude increases. 25 - 70 = -45. You start with 25, so you must subtract the temperature that is lost.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

5.024 × 10^8 tons /day

Step-by-step explanation:

This question has to deal with conversion

We are told in the question that:

On average, water flows over a particular water fall at a rate of 2.05 x 10^5 cubic feet per second.

Water flow rate = 2.05 × 10^5 ft³/s

From the question,

One cubic foot of water weighs 62.4 lb.

1 ft³ = 62.4 lb

1 ton = 2200 lb

We are to calculate the flow rate in tons per day

Hence,

1 ft³ = 62.4 lb

2.05 × 10^5 ft³ =

Cross Multiply

2.05 × 10^5 × 62.4

= 12792000lb

Hence the water flow rate = 12792000lb/s

From the question,

2200 lb = 1 ton

12792000 Ib =

Cross Multiply

12792000lb × 1 ton/2200 lb

= 5814.5454545 tons

Hence the water flow rate = 5814.5454545 tons/second

We want the flow rate to be in tons/day

1 ton / second = 86400 tons / day

5814.5454545 tons/second = x tons/ day

Cross Multiply

x = 5814.5454545 tons/second × 86400 tons /day/ 1 ton / second

= 502376727.27 tons/day

= 5.0237672727 × 10^8 tons/day

Approximately ≈ 5.024 × 10^8 tons /day

Therefore, the rate of water flow in tons of water per day is 5.024 × 10^8 tons of water /day

6. Charlie can spend up to $8 on lunch. He wants to buy a tuna sandwich, a bottle of

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The maximum number of pounds of potato salad that Charlie can buy is 0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Let

a ----> the cost of one tuna sandwich

b ----> the cost of a bottle of apple juice

c ----> the cost per pound of potato salad

x ----> pounds of potato salad

we have

$a=\$4.25$

$b=\$2.25$

$c=\$4.00/lb$

we know that

He wants to buy a tuna sandwich, a bottle of apple juice, and x pounds of potato salad and can spend up to $8

The inequality that represent this situation is

$a+b+cx \leq 8$

substitute the given values

$4.25+2.25+4.00x \leq 8$

Solve for x

Combine like terms

$6.50+4.00x \leq 8$

Subtract 6.50 both sides

$4.00x \leq 8-6.50$

$4.00x \leq 1.50$

Divide by 4 both sides

$x \leq 1.50/4.00$

$x \leq 0.375\ lbs$

therefore

The maximum number of pounds of potato salad that Charlie can buy is 0.375
