Answer:
cost = 56 + 8t, where t is the number of hours worked for.
for 4 hours of work, cost = 56 + 8 x 4 = $88
Step-by-step explanation:
$119 - $68 = $51
51/68 x 100 = .75
.75 x 100 = 75%
So, there was a 75% percent increase in the price.
To find the percent of anything, you divide what you have from the total (or the smaller number over the bigger number). In this case, you will do 14/26.
14/26=0.53846
I'm going to round to the hundredths: 0.54
Move the decimal place two times to the right: 54
The percent change from 14 inches to 26 inches is 54%
In order to calculate the total cost of the purchase, we must first assess that there were two items bought, turkey and lamb. Next, we see multiply the cost of the first item by its quantity, so:
cost(T) = 2.15 * 7.89
cost(T) = $16.96
And repeat for the second item:
cost(L) = 1.87 * 7.89
cost (L) = $14.75
Finally, the total cost is the sum of these costs. So
Total = 16.96 + 14.75
Total = $31.71
