Clare and Ivan have summer jobs selling newspaper subscriptions door-to-door, but their
compensation plans are different. Clare earns a base wage of $9 per hour, as well as $1 for
every subscription that she sells. Ivan gets $4 per subscription sold, in addition to a base
wage of $3 per hour. If they each sell a certain number of subscriptions in an hour, they will
end up earning the same amount. How much would each one earn? How many subscriptions
would that be?

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.

180°

step-by-step explanation:

sum of equilateral triangle=180°

< n=60°

< m=120°°[angle supplementary of equilateral angle]

< m+< r+< x=360°(sum of exterior angle of triangle)

your answer is 125y5
