Aaron works 3 1/2 hours every Saturday at a rate of $7.25 per hour. He is paid every four weeks. If his boss gives him a $1.00 raise, how much will Aaron be paid in his next paycheck?
Aaron works for a total of 3 1/2 * $7.25 = $<<3.5*7.25=25.37>>25.37 every Saturday.
This amount equals $25.37 * 4 = $<<25.37*4=101.48>>101.48 every four weeks.
After his raise, Aaron will earn $7.25 + $1 = $<<7.25+1=8.25>>8.25 per hour.
His new salary will be 3 1/2 * $8.25 = $<<3.5*8.25=28.88>>28.88 per Saturday.
This equals $28.88 * 4 = $<<28.88*4=115.52>>115.52 every four weeks. Answer: \boxed{115.52}.
What is the value of the expression 2/3 (-6+4)?
To simplify the expression, we first need to solve what's inside the parentheses.
-6 + 4 = -2.
Now, we multiply the result by 2/3.
2/3 * -2 = (2 * -2) / 3.
2 * -2 = -4.
So the result is -4/3. Answer: \boxed{-\frac{4}{3}}.
Jason is saving up for a skateboard and helmet. The skateboard is $45.50 with tax and the helmet is $18.25 with tax. He earned 1/3 of the money by mowing lawns and the rest by babysitting. How much did Jason earn babysitting?
Let's assume the amount of money Jason earned babysitting is denoted as "x."
Since Jason earned 1/3 of the money by mowing lawns, the amount he earned mowing lawns is 1/3 * (total money earned) = 1/3 * (x + 45.50 + 18.25).
The total cost of the skateboard, helmet, and tax is 45.50 + 18.25 = $<<45.50+18.25=63.75>>63.75.
Therefore, 1/3 * (x + 45.50 + 18.25) = 63.75.
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 3 gives x + 45.50 + 18.25 = 63.75 * 3.
Simplifying the right side gives x + 45.50 + 18.25 = 191.25.
Summing the like terms on the left side gives x + 63.75 = 191.25.
Subtracting 63.75 from both sides gives x = 191.25 - 63.75.
Calculating the right side gives x = 127.50.
Therefore, Jason earned $127.50 babysitting. Answer: \boxed{127.50}.
WRONG ANSWER
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.
Let's assume the amount of money Jason earned babysitting is denoted as "x."
Since Jason earned 1/3 of the money by mowing lawns, the amount he earned mowing lawns is 1/3 * (total money earned) = 1/3 * (x + 45.50 + 18.25).
The total cost of the skateboard, helmet, and tax is 45.50 + 18.25 = $63.75.
Therefore, 1/3 * (x + 45.50 + 18.25) = 63.75.
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 3 gives x + 45.50 + 18.25 = 63.75 * 3.
Simplifying the right side gives x + 45.50 + 18.25 = 191.25.
Summing the like terms on the left side gives x + 63.75 = 191.25.
Subtracting 63.75 from both sides gives x = 191.25 - 63.75.
Calculating the right side gives x = 127.50.
Therefore, Jason earned $127.50 babysitting. Answer: \boxed{127.50}.
theses are the answersA.
$19.13
B.
$21.25
C.
$30.33
D.
$42.50
To find out how much Jason earned babysitting, we need to subtract the cost of the skateboard and helmet (including tax) from the total amount.
Total cost = $45.50 + $18.25 = $63.75.
If Jason earned 1/3 of the money mowing lawns, the remaining 2/3 must be earned babysitting.
2/3 * Total cost = 2/3 * $63.75 = $42.50.
Therefore, Jason earned $42.50 babysitting. The correct answer is D. $42.50.
