A candy maker makes two sizes of candies. Using the smaller size, a full jar will contain 120 pieces of candy. Using the larger candies a jar will contain 80 pieces of candy.

A copy machine repairman makes $12.50 per hour plus $4 for every service call he performs. Last week he worked 34 hours and made 6 service calls. How much money did he make?

We worked for 34 hours, so we have: 34 × 12.50 = $425 ...........(1) NOW, he made 6 service calls. He earns $4 per call. So we have: 6 × 4 = $24 ......... (2) Adding (1) and (2) to get the total amount, we will have the following: $425 + $24 = $449 So the answer is that he made $449.

Three individuals form a partnership and agree to divide the profits equally. X invests $9,000, Y invests $7,000, Z invests $4,000. If the profits are $4,800, how much less does X receive than if the profits were divided in proportion to the amount invested?

add up the total investment 9000+700+4000=20,000 2) find the porportion of each investor (i simplified) x -- 9000/20000 = 9/20ths of the investment y -- 7000/20000 = 7/20th of the investment z -- 4000/20000 = 1/5th of the investment 3) figure out what each gets: x-- 9/20*4800 = 2160 y -- 7/20*4800 = 1680 z -- 1/5*4800 = 960 4) as always check yourself - add up the profits and make sure they equal 4800 2160+1680+960=4800 5) figure out how much they would recieve if they share the profits equally 4800/3 =1600 6) how much less would x recieve 2160-1600= 560
