There are 12 months in a year and $68.50 is held each month for the government. To find the total for the year, multiply the cost
each month by 12 to represent an entire year: 12 x $68.50 = $822.

Take the total time allowed, 40 hours, and subtract the time already used, 9+6.5 + 8 + 10.5 = 34, to find the leftover time, 40 - 34 = 6.

This problem is simplified when an equation is used. Use x to represent the number of clients Mike has, (3/8)x to represent Steve's clients, and 3(3/8)(x) to represent the clients for DJ. The total number of clients is 440, so add them up and solve for x.

Add up the various stages in order to figure out the total amount of time he must spend per tree;
20 min +120 min +40 min = 180 min or 3 hrs. It takes him 3 hours per tree and he has 6 trees to trim;
6 treesx 3 hrs/tree = 18 hrs total. He has 2 days to accomplish 18 hrs of work; 18 hrs/2 days = 9 hrs/day.

ake the fractions that Mark has already worked and add them together by finding a common denominator,
1/6 + 2/5 = 1(5)/30+2(6)/30 = (5 + 12)730 = 17/30.

First, start by converting % to a decimal;
4 + 5 = 0.8.
Since each can weighs 0.8 lbs and the shelf can hold 30 lbs, divide 30 by 0.8 to calculate how many cans can be placed; 30 lbs/0.8 Ibs/can = 37.5 cans. Since you can't put 0.5 of a can on the shelf, the maximum number of cans that can be set on the shelf without exceeding the 30 pound weight limit is 37 cans.

To solve I = E/R for E, multiply both sides of the equation by R. The Rs cancel each other out on the right side of the equation,
so the equation becomes IR = E. The equation can be flipped ’ around to become E = IR, which is Answer A..

When converting from feet to meters (smaller unit, larger unit), divide the total feet by 3.28,62.73.28 = 19.1 meters.

To switch from percentages to decimals, divide the percentage by 100, 1 1/100 = .11. You can also move the decimal point two places to the left.

If a discount of 20% is offered, then the $35 quote represents 80% of the original price,
100%-20% = 80%.
Translate the following information into an equation to solve: 80% of the original price equals $35. Use p as the original price and solve the equation;
80/100 x p = $35; .80p = $35; .80p/.80 = $357.80; p = $43.75.

Subtract the length of the shelf, 5.6 ft, from the total length of the wall, 12 ft, in order to find out how much extra wall space there is; 12 ft - 5.6 ft = 6.4 ft. Since the shelf has to be centered, the extra 6.4 ft. must be distributed evenly on either side; 6.4 ft/2 = 3.2 ft must be left on each side of the shelf.

Find out what 3.5% of 224,500 is by multiplying the two numbers, remembering to divide the percentage by 100,224,500 x 3.7ioo = 7,857.50.

Note: m2 = sq. meter. The pebble walkway is acting like a border around the pool. There is now a larger rectangle around the pool with an additional 5 m on each side, 2.5 + 2.5 = 5. If you find the area of the larger rectangle and subtract away the area inside,
you are left with the area of the border. It is almost like cutting out the middle of the big rectangle. The area of the large rectangle is: 3,400 m2, |xw = A, 85x40 = 3,400. The area of the pool is only 2,800 m2,80 x 35 = 2,800. Subtract the two areas to find that the is 600 m2,3,400-2,800 = 600.

To find the cost per grinder, divide the total cost, $900, by the number of grinders, 120; $900+ 120 = $7.50.

To find the cost of renting equipment, start with the weekly rate, $45, and add that to the additional cost of the miles traveled. There is a charge of 5 cents per mile, and since we have m miles in this problem, .05m represents the additional charge. Make sure to put 5 cents into dollar form so that all the information is in the same unit, the weekly charge is already in terms of dollars so it is easier to transfer everything into dollars. The total charge is found by adding the parts together 45 +.05m.
