Joe lost his part-time job, which reduced the net family income by 20%. His wife Janice decided to work overtime to compensate for the lost income. Other things being equal, by what percentage must her net salary increase in order to arrive at the same net family income as they had before Joe lost his job?​

Answers

Answer 1

The percentage by which Janice's net salary must be increased in order to arrive at the same net family income as they had before Joe lost his job is 25%.

What are Percentages?

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25 which is equal to 25%.

To convert a fraction to a percentage, convert the fraction to decimal form and then multiply by 100 with the '%' symbol.

Let the salary of Joe be represented by x, while the salary of Janice is represented by y.

Since the sum of the salary of Joe and Janice is the net income of the family. Therefore, the net salary when Joe had a job will be,

x + y₁ = 100%

Now, it is known that Joe lost his job, which reduced the net family income by 20%.  Therefore, the net salary now will be only 80% which will be equal to the salary of Janice. Thus, we can write,

y₁ = 80%

Further, Janice decided to work overtime to compensate for the lost income. Therefore, we can write,

y₂ = 100%

Furthermore, the percentage change in salary of Janice can be written as,

Percentage Change = [(100% - 80%)/80% ] × 100%

                                  = 20/80  × 100%

                                  = 25%

Hence, the percentage by which Janice's net salary must be increased in order to arrive at the same net family income as they had before Joe lost his job is 25%.

Answers

Answer:

EG = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion , that is

[tex]\frac{EG}{AC}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{EF}{AB}[/tex] , substitute values

[tex]\frac{EG}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12}{3}[/tex] = 4 ( multiply both sides by 5 )

EG = 5 × 4 = 20

From a sample of 45 students exam scores, it was found that there was a mean score was 75 and a standard deviation of 5. Assume the distribution of exam scores is normal.

construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the true mean score.

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the true mean score is [tex][73.539,76.461][/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that [tex]CI=\bar x\pm z\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex] where [tex]\bar x[/tex] is the sample mean, [tex]z[/tex] is the upper critical value for the desired confidence level, [tex]s[/tex] is the sample standard deviation, and [tex]n[/tex] is the sample size.

Write the equation of a line that has a slope of -2/7 and passes through the point (5,-6)

Answers

Answer:

y = -2/7x - 32/7

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The slope is -2/7

y = -2/7 x+b

We know a point on the line is (5,-6)

Substitute this into the equation

-6 = -2/7(5) +b

-6 = -10/7+b

Add 10/7 to each side

-6 +10/7 = b

-42/7 + 10/7 = b

-32/7 = b

y = -2/7x  -32/7

point-slope form: y-y1=m(x-x1) -> m=slope, (x1, y1) = coordinates of a point

what is 2/5=_=_ what is the 2 equivalent fractions

Answers

Answer:

4/10 and 16/40

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5 = 0.4(ZERO POINT FOUR NOT 0.04 ZERO POINT ZERO FOUR)

(numerator =2 x 2=4 ,denominator= 5 x 2= 10) this is how i got 4/10 (choose any number between 10 and 2 and multiply it by the denominator and numerator)

As well as 4/10  = 0.4

Also 16/40= 0.4

(Using our original fraction 2/5 we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 8; numerator= 2 x 8 = 16  and denominator= 5 x 8 = 40

Since 4/10 and 16/40 are both equivalent to 0.4, they are equivalent fractions

Given AP is -3 ,-1/2,2,..

x=5[tex]\frac{16}{3}[/tex]/(4-[tex]\frac{16}{3}[/tex])

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, these are not my strong point, Sorry if its incorrect.

6-[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex](x+5)=4x

I first did 6-[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

6/1 -2/3,  18/3-2/3 =16/3

[tex]\frac{16}{3}[/tex](x+5)=4x

I then expanded the bracket to get [tex]\frac{16}{3}[/tex]x+5[tex]\frac{16}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{16}{3}[/tex]x+5[tex]\frac{16}{3}[/tex]=4x

Then I took away [tex]\frac{16}{3}[/tex]x from both sides to get.

5[tex]\frac{16}{3}[/tex]=4x-[tex]\frac{16}{3}[/tex]x

I then factorised x out

5[tex]\frac{16}{3}[/tex]=x(4-[tex]\frac{16}{3}[/tex])

I then divided by the bracket to get:

x=5[tex]\frac{16}{3}[/tex]/(4-[tex]\frac{16}{3}[/tex])

Answer:

4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]6 - \frac{2}{3} (x + 5) = 4x[/tex]

U take -2/3 into the brackets

[tex]6 - \frac{2}{3} x - \frac{10}{3} = 4x[/tex]

Put all values with x on one side

[tex]6 - \frac{10}{3} = 4x + \frac{2}{3} x[/tex]

Ensure that they all have the same denominator so that u can add and subtract

[tex] \frac{18}{3} - \frac{10}{3} = \frac{12}{3} x + \frac{2}{3} x[/tex]

[tex] \frac{8}{3} = \frac{14}{3} x[/tex]

Drop the denominator since they both have the same denominator

[tex]8 = 14x[/tex]

divide both sides by 14

[tex] \frac{8}{14} = \frac{14}{14} x[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{4}{7} [/tex]
