Another Math Challenge Question?

Show me hpw yo worked it out. Thank you!

The BK %26amp; J Cleaning Company are contracted to clean buildings and businesses. foe every job, the three owners receive a certain percentage. Ben receives 30%, Ken receives 25%, Jen receives 35%, and 10% goes towards supplies and overhead. In 2007, the BK %26amp; J Company cleaned Harvest Christian Bookstore once a week. They were paid $3600 for the year. [Round to the nearest hundredth]



a.) How much did each pearson earn off the single contract?

b.) How much went towards supplies and overhead?

.3 x 3600 = Ben

.25 x 3600 = Ken

.35 x 3600 = Jen



then



.1 x 3600 = Overhead...



Slide the decimal over 2, to convert from percent to decimals...

1 in decimals is = to 100 in percent.Another Math Challenge Question?
a.) Ben receives $1080, Ken receives $900, and Jen receives $1260



To find the percentage each received, you simply take the total of $3600 and multiply it by the percentage as a decimal. So, for example, Ben is 30%. 3600*.30 = 1080.



I wasn't sure by the question whether or not they were supposed to be paid weekly or yearly. The answers I gave were yearly. If it's supposed to be weekly, then simply divide the answers by 52 since there are 52 weeks per year. That would give you $20.77 for Ben, $17.31 for Ken, and $24.23 for Jen each week.



b.) $360 goes to supplies and overhead yearly, or $6.92 weekly. Same method, multiply the total of $3600 by the percentage of 10, which is 3600*.1 = 360. To find weekly, divide by 52.
