Explanation:
To calculate Jenny's new monthly salary after a 5% pay raise, we can use the following formula:
new salary = current salary + (percent increase x current salary)
First, we need to calculate 5% of Jenny's current salary:
5% of $2,650.00 = 0.05 x $2,650.00 = $132.50
Next, we can substitute the values into the formula:
new salary = $2,650.00 + ($132.50) = $2,782.50
Therefore, Jenny's new monthly salary after a 5% pay raise would be $2,782.50.
Explanation:
The original tool room had an area of:
9 feet x 15 feet = 135 square feet
The expanded tool room has an area of:
11 feet x 20 feet = 220 square feet
To find out how much extra floor space was added, we can subtract the original area from the expanded area:
220 square feet - 135 square feet = 85 square feet
Therefore, 85 square feet of extra floor space was added to the tool room.
Explanation:
To find the percentage of paper reams left after 43 of them are used, we first need to subtract the number of reams used from the total number of reams bought:
148 - 43 = 105
So there are 105 reams of paper left.
To find the percentage of reams left, we can use the following formula:
percentage = (part/whole) x 100
In this case, the "part" is the number of reams left (105), and the "whole" is the number of reams bought (148). So, the formula becomes:
percentage = (105/148) x 100 = 70.95%
Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get:
percentage = 71%
Therefore, approximately 71% of the reams of paper that the department bought are left after 43 of them are used.
Explanation:
The total number of cases managed by the 18 employees is:
18 x 360 = 6,480
If the caseload of three departing employees is divided equally among the remaining 15 employees, each of them will receive an additional:
(3/15) x 360 = 72 cases
So each of the remaining employees will now be responsible for:
360 + 72 = 432 cases
Explanation:
Let's start by setting up an equation to represent the information given in the problem:
(2/3) * Jack's weekly income = $480
To solve for Jack's weekly income, we can isolate the variable by dividing both sides of the equation by 2/3:
Jack's weekly income = $480 / (2/3) = $480 * (3/2) = $720
Now that we know Jack's weekly income is $720, we can find one-fourth of it by multiplying by 1/4:
One-fourth of Jack's weekly income = $720 * (1/4) = $180
Therefore, one-fourth of Jack's weekly income is $180.
Explanation:
Let's start with the number of workers at the end of July, which is given as 305.
In August, the number of workers changed by:
-30 (workers who quit) + 11 (new hires) = -19
So at the end of August, there were 305 - 19 = 286 workers.
In September, the number of workers changed by:
23 (new hires) - 9 (resignations) = 14
So at the end of September, there were 286 + 14 = 300 workers.
In October, the number of workers changed by:
17 (new hires) = 17
So at the end of October, there were 300 + 17 = 317 workers.
Therefore, as of November 1st, there were 317 workers employed on the production line.
Explanation:
To find out what percentage of 500 is 65, you can use the following formula:
percentage = (part/whole) x 100
In this case, the "part" is 65, and the "whole" is 500. So, the formula becomes:
percentage = (65/500) x 100
Simplifying the equation:
percentage = 0.13 x 100 = 13%
Therefore, 65 is 13% of 500.
