My friend makes $7.50 an hour and a combined total of $1500 dollars has made up all of her income from that job. She's curious how much she would have if she was making $8.50 but doesn't wanna go recount her hours herself. Any quick/easy way to find out?

$1500/$7.50 = 200 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the amount she made by how much she makes an hour.

= 200 hours

what is the original number? you forgot to add it.

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
