You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a) \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "From 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, 8 hours have elapsed (2 hrs to get to 12, then 6 more to get to 6 pm)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So...\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Rate of pay = Amount of money paid/number of hours = \"120%2F8=15\" dollars an hour.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since she \"typed from the end of page 8 to the end of page 50\", this means that she has typed 50-8 = 42 pages in total. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So...\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Average typing rate (in pages per hour) = Number of pages typed/Number of hours = \"42%2F8=21%2F4=5.25\" pages per hour.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c) \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Rate of pay (in dollars per page) = Amount of money paid/number of pages typed = \"120%2F42=20%2F7=2.857\" (this is approximate) dollars per page\r
