OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

well tell me why you guys think the answer is c or d so i can choose the best one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im sorry its A looked at the wrong one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

She worked 78 hours at $7 per hour. How much salary did she get just from the hourly salary? Multiply 7 * $78. What do you get?

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

its cool i havent picked a answer yet

OpenStudy (across):

She worked \(78\) hours. Therefore, she made \(7\times78=546\). She gets \(15\%\) commission. Therefore, she gains \(1,648\times0.15=247.2\). Thus she makes \(247.2+546=793.2\).

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

546

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no Across actually was right it is A because i totald it all together and i got A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\huge\bf\color{hotpink}{Welcome~to~Open~Study!!!!!!}\)

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

okay im going to go with A

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Great. The rest of the money is from the commission. She sold $1648 and makes a 15% commission. What is 15% of $1648? Multiply $1648 * 0.15. What do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tell us if u got it right and medal

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

A was right

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

Thank you all for the help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

those arent one of his answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its too much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u are welcome

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The commission is $247.20 Add the two parts together: $546 + $247.20 = $793.20 Closest answer is A

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You're welcome.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dave rented a limousine for his wife's birthday. The hourly rate is $70. They used the limousine for 3 hours, plus Dave gave the driver a 20% tip. How much did he spend in total for the hourly charges plus tip? A.$294 B.$252 C.$168 D.$434

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

im not good with percents

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be B.$252

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you would add 70 3 times because it is 70 for 1 hour and you would get 210 then you add 20% to get ur answer

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u are welcome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have fanned u if u got it

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u are most certainly welcome

3 times $70 is $210 The cost of the limousine was $210 for the 3 hours. Now you need to add 20% of $210 to $210. First we can find what 20% of $210 is. To find a percentage of a number, just multiply the percentage by the number and divide by 100. 20% of $210 = 20 * 210/100 = $42 The tip was $42 The total amount paid was $210 + $42 = $252
