Answer 3

Let \(x\) = the annual total expenses

Setup a proportion and solve \(x\)
\[\large \dfrac{33\frac{1}{3}}{100}=\frac{23850}{x}\]

Answer 4

whats th e 1/3 stand for

Answer 5

\(33 \frac{1}{3}\) is mixed fraction
you may read it ias 33 and a one third

Answer 6

In your calculations, you may replace it like this\[33\frac{1}{3}=33+\frac{1}{3}\]

Answer 7

23850 = .333 X Expenses
71550 = Expenses (multiply both sides by 3 or divide by .333

Answer 19

2)Joint-Serve Prosthetics spends 43% of its total expenses for payroll. It increased its total expenses when it spent $250,000 for robotic assemblers. This changed the allocation for payroll to 38% of total expenses. What were its total expenses after purchasing the robotic assemblers? Hint: First find the total expense before the purchase of robotic assemblers.

Answer 20

b payroll = .43 X Expenses
payroll = .38 X (Expenses + 250000)

Mult-ply out the second line
Payroll = .38 X Expenses + 95000

subtract this from line 1

0 = .05 X Expenses - 95000
95000 = .05 Expenses
Divide by .05
1,900,000 = Expenses

Verify in equations
Payroll = .43 X Expenses = .43 X 1,900,000 = $817,000
Payroll = .38 X (Expenses + 250000) = .38 X (1,900,000+250,000) = .38 X 2,150,000 = $817,000

Answer 21

i puty it in as that $817,000 wrong too
