correct answer : c solution : c . we can set up equations for income before and after the wage reduction . initially , the employee earns w wage and works h hours per week . after the reduction , the employee earns . 8 w wage and works x hours . by setting these equations equal to each other , we can determine the increase in hours worked : wh = . 8 wx ( divide both sides by . 8 w ) 1.25 h = x we know that the new number of hours worked t will be 25 % greater than the original number . the answer is c .

subtract(add(0.8, 0.25), 0.4)
the probability that event a occurs is 0.4 , and the probability that events a and b both occur is 0.25 . if the probability that either event a or event b occurs is 0.8 , what is the probability that event b will occur ?
"p ( a or b ) = p ( a ) + p ( b ) - p ( a n b ) 0.8 = 0.4 + p ( b ) - 0.25 p ( b ) = 0.65 ans : e"
a = 0 + 8 b = a - 0
