A business owner paid 6 workers a total of $1,800 to do some painting for him. At the same rate, how much would it cost him to hire 15 workers?

Answer

$4500

Step-by-step explanation:

Since for every 6 workers it's $1800, we're gonna divide 1800 by 6 to find out how much it's for one worker.

1800 divided by 600 is 300

If you multiply $300 x 15 it is equal to 4500

step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved first with pythagorean theorem, which tells us to square both legs of the triangle and sum it. this will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

the hypotenuse is the side "opposite" the 90 degree angle, which is x.

so we can write using pythagorean theorem,

simplifying:

to further simplify this radical, we need to use the property  

thus
