Last weekend Shad and Aden spread manure to earn spending money. They worked for 9 hours at a rate of $12.50 per hour. Each received half of the total earnings. If Shad then spent $15 on a new hat, what was the total amount he had left, in dollars and cents, from the money he earned spreading manure?

Given :

Shad and Aden spread manure to earn spending money. They worked for 9 hours at a rate of $12.50 per hour.

Each received half of the total earnings.

To Find :

If Shad then spent $15 on a new hat, what was the total amount he had left, in dollars and cents, from the money he earned spreading manure.

Solution :

Their total income is given by :

Each get = $112.5/2 = $56.25

Money left after pending $15 is :

Money left = $( 56.25 - 15 ) = $41.25 .

Hence, this is the required solution.

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
