a)1485.12
b)1501.84
c)2642.34
d)3404.96

Solution:

1. Total time for which Rick worked = 49 hours

→Amount got by Rick by working for 49 hours = $13.40 per hour for 40 hours + Overtime for (49-40) hours

→Amount got by Rick by working for 49 hours = $40 × 13.40 +  Overtime for  9 hours=  $536 + Some Amount

= Option (D) $ 716.90 is correct choice as gross pay of Rick.

2. Weekly salary of Maratha = $ 1428

Commission = 4 %

So, gross income = 1428 ×( 1 + )

                =  1428 × 1.04

               = 1485. 12 →→Option (A)

i dont know i just need points

5x+40

5(x + 8)

7x - 49

7(x - 7)

18x + 9

9(2x + 1)

15x - 10

5(3x - 2)

step-by-step explanation:

for number one all you have to do is factor 5 out of 5x + 40

for number 2 factor 7 out of 7x - 49

for number three factor 9 out of 18x + 9

for number four factor 5 out of 15x - 10
