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?
A.
$95.70
B.
$101.50
C.
$108.90
D.
$115.50
Aaron currently earns $7.25 * 3.5 = $<<7.25*3.5=25.375>>25.375 every Saturday.
In 4 weeks, Aaron earns a total of $25.375 * 4 = $<<25.375*4=101.50>>101.50.
After receiving a $1.00 raise, Aaron will earn $7.25 + $1.00 = $<<7.25+1=8.25>>8.25 per hour.
Therefore, Aaron will earn $8.25 * 3.5 = $<<8.25*3.5=28.875>>28.875 every Saturday.
Hence, Aaron will earn $28.875 * 4 = $<<28.875*4=115.50>>115.50 in his next paycheck, which is option D. $115.50
What is the value of the expression
?

What is the value of the expression 2/3(-6+4)
?
A.0
B.-2/3
C.4/3
D.-4/3
To solve the expression 2/3(-6+4), we need to perform the operations inside the parentheses first.
-6 + 4 = -2
Now we can substitute this value back into the expression:
2/3(-2)
Next, multiply 2/3 by -2:
(2/3)(-2) = -4/3
Therefore, the value of the expression 2/3(-6+4) is -4/3, which corresponds to option D. -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?
A.
$19.13
B.
$21.25
C.
$30.33
D.
$42.50
Let's start by finding the total cost of the skateboard and helmet.
The cost of the skateboard is $45.50, and the cost of the helmet is $18.25. Therefore, the total cost is $45.50 + $18.25 = $63.75.
Jason earned 1/3 of the money by mowing lawns, which means he earned (1/3) * $63.75 = $<<1/3*63.75=21.25>>21.25 by mowing lawns.
To find how much Jason earned babysitting, we subtract the amount earned by mowing lawns from the total cost: $63.75 - $21.25 = $<<63.75-21.25=42.5>>42.50.
Therefore, Jason earned $42.50 babysitting, which corresponds to option D. $42.50.
