Answer 1

My profit-sharing check is $6,000; I only get the $6,000 if I work a minimum of 1850 hours. Under 1850 hours, I get paid less. I worked 1540 hours. How much will my profit-sharing check be?

Set up a proportion.

6000 = x

1850 1540 Get the cross products

1850 x = 6000(1540)

1850 1850

x = $4994.59
