A manufacturing employee earns a base wage of $\$15.00$ per hour for a standard 40-hour workweek, with time-and-a-half pay for any additional hours worked. In addition to hourly wages, the employee earns a piece-rate bonus for every unit produced that exceeds a weekly quota of 100 units.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $\$3.50$

Cevap

The piece-rate bonus is

\$3.50

The correct piece-rate is found by first isolating the hourly wages. The employee earned

\$600.00

for 40 regular hours and

\$180.00

for 8 overtime hours (at

\$22.50

/hr), totaling

\$780.00

. Subtracting this from the

\$1,060.00

gross pay leaves a

\$280.00

bonus pool. Since the employee produced 80 units above the 100-unit quota, the rate per excess unit is

\$280.00 \div 80 = \$3.50

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the total hourly pay, including standard and overtime hours.

Regular pay:

40 \times \$15.00 = \$600.00

. Overtime pay:

8 \times (\$15.00 \times 1.5) = 8 \times \$22.50 = \$180.00

. Total hourly pay =

\$780.00

.

You must isolate the hourly earnings from the total gross pay to determine how much money came from the piece-rate bonus.

2

Determine the total amount of the piece-rate bonus pool.

\$1,060.00 - \$780.00 = \$280.00

Subtracting the total hourly earnings from the total gross pay gives the exact amount earned purely from assembling extra units.

3

Determine the number of units eligible for the piece-rate bonus.

180 - 100 = 80

units

The bonus is only paid for units produced that exceed the weekly quota of 100.

4

Calculate the bonus amount per excess unit.

\$280.00 \div 80 = \$3.50

Dividing the total bonus pool by the number of eligible units yields the individual piece-rate.

The correct answer is

31

nautical miles.

The total distance is found by calculating the distance for each leg separately. First, convert the times into hours:

15\text{ minutes}

is

0.25\text{ hours}

(making the first leg

2.25\text{ hours}

), and

12\text{ minutes}

is

0.2\text{ hours}

. Multiplying these times by their respective speeds (

12 \times 2.25

and

20 \times 0.2

) gives distances of

27

and

4

nautical miles. Adding these together yields a total of

31

nautical miles.

Speed is given in knots (nautical miles per hour), so the time must be in hours to cancel the units properly.

2

Calculate the distance traveled during the first leg.

12\text{ knots} \times 2.25\text{ hours} = 27\text{ nautical miles}

.

Using the formula Distance = Rate x Time.

Identify the given values for the simple interest formula.

Principal (

P

) =

\\

5,000

, Interest (

I

) =

\\

750

, Time (

T

) =

4

years.

To find the missing annual interest rate, we must first list the known values for the formula

I = PRT

.

2

Substitute the known values into the simple interest formula and solve for the rate (

R

).

750 = 5000 \times R \times 4 \Rightarrow 750 = 20000 \times R \Rightarrow R = \frac{750}{20000} = 0.0375

. Converting this decimal to a percentage gives

3.75\\%

.

Isolating

R

allows us to determine the annual percentage rate required to earn the specified interest.

3

Calculate the total maturity value (

A

) by adding the interest earned to the original principal.

A = P + I \Rightarrow A = 5000 + 750 = 5750

.

The total balance at maturity is the sum of the initial investment and the accumulated interest.

To find the total gross pay, you must first calculate the total bonus earned by multiplying the number of new accounts (

15

) by the bonus per account (

\$5

). This gives a total bonus of

\$75

. You then add this bonus to the base weekly salary of

\$400

, which results in a total gross pay of

\$475

.

Cevap: 56

Cevap

56

Supplier A's final price is

\$1,984

(after a

38\%

reduction from

\$3,200

). Supplier B's final price is

\$2,040

(after a

25\%

reduction to

\$2,400

, followed by a

15\%

reduction). Choosing Supplier A over Supplier B saves the manager

\$2,040 - \$1,984 = \$56

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate Supplier A's final sale price.

\$1,984

Supplier A offers a single

38\%

discount.

100\% - 38\% = 62\%

.

0.62 \times \$3,200 = \$1,984

.

2

Calculate Supplier B's price after the initial discount.

\$2,400

Supplier B offers an initial

25\%

discount.

100\% - 25\% = 75\%

.

0.75 \times \$3,200 = \$2,400

.

3

Calculate Supplier B's final sale price.

\$2,040

Supplier B offers an additional

15\%

off the reduced price.

100\% - 15\% = 85\%

.

0.85 \times \$2,400 = \$2,040

.

4

Find the difference between the two final prices.

\$56

Subtracting Supplier A's price from Supplier B's price gives the total savings:

\$2,040 - \$1,984 = \$56

A landscape architect is preparing a design layout for a new rectangular community garden. On the layout, the garden measures $2.5\text{ inches}$ in width and $5\text{ inches}$ in length. The drawing uses a scale where $\frac{1}{4}\text{ inch}$ represents $3\text{ feet}$ . What is the actual area of the community garden in square feet?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $1,800$

Cevap

The actual area of the community garden is

1,800

square feet.

The correct answer is found by first establishing how many feet each inch on the layout represents. Since a quarter of an inch represents 3 feet, one full inch represents 12 feet (4 times 3). Multiplying the layout dimensions by 12 provides the actual dimensions: a width of 30 feet and a length of 60 feet. Finally, multiplying the actual width by the actual length (30 x 60) gives the true area of 1,800 square feet.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the unit scale factor for 1 inch.

Since

1/4\text{ inch} = 3\text{ feet}

, multiplying both sides by 4 gives

1\text{ inch} = 12\text{ feet}

.

Converting the scale to a 'per inch' rate makes it easier to apply to the drawing measurements.

2

Calculate the actual width and length of the garden.

Actual width =

2.5 \times 12 = 30\text{ feet}

. Actual length =

5 \times 12 = 60\text{ feet}

.

Applying the linear scale factor converts the map dimensions directly into real-world dimensions.

3

Calculate the area of the actual garden.

Area =

30\text{ feet} \times 60\text{ feet} = 1,800\text{ square feet}

.

The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length by its width.

\$

.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The total gross pay is

\$3,210

.

The correct answer accurately divides the 54 total hours into three distinct pay tiers: 40 hours at the base rate (

\$1,800

), 10 hours at 1.5x (

\$675

), and 4 hours at 2x (

\$360

). It then correctly adds the flat hazard bonus of

\$375

(

3 \times \$125

) to reach the final gross pay of

\$3,210

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the standard pay for the first 40 hours.

\$1,800

\$45.00 \times 40 = \$1,800

2

Calculate the time-and-a-half pay for the next 10 hours.

\$675

The time-and-a-half rate is

\$45.00 \times 1.5 = \$67.50

. For 10 hours, this is

\$67.50 \times 10 = \$675

.

3

Calculate the double time pay for the remaining hours over 50.

\$360

The diver worked 54 total hours, so 4 hours are paid at double time. The rate is

\$45.00 \times 2 = \$90.00

. For 4 hours, this is

\$90.00 \times 4 = \$360

.

4

Calculate the total hazard bonuses earned.

\$375

The diver completed 3 deep dives at

\$125

each.

3 \times \$125 = \$375

.
