Yesterday during an 8 hour workday, Charlotte trained new employees half as long as she was a cashier and stocked shelves three quarters of an hour less than she was cashier. How many hours did Charlotte spend on each duty?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = time as a cashier:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"trained new employees half as long as she was a cashier\"
\n" ); document.write( ".5t = time training
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"stocked shelves three quarters of an hour less than she was cashier.\"
\n" ); document.write( "(t-.75) = time stocking selves
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( " How many hours did Charlotte spend on each duty?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "cashier + training + stocking = 8 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "t + .5t + (t-.75) = 8
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2.5t = 8 + .75
\n" ); document.write( "t = \"8.75%2F2.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "t = 3.5 hrs cashiering
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".5(3.5) = 1.75 hrs training
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3.5 - .75 = 2.75 hrs stocking
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution: 3.5 + 1.75 + 2.75 = 8; confirms our solution x=3.5\r
