Dylan took an applicant-paid job through an employment agency. The job pays $395 per week. Dylan must pay a fee to the agency. The fee is 20% of his first 4 weeks pay. How much does Dylan owe the employment agency?

Dylan owed a $1,264 fee, and earned $316

Step-by-step explanation:

First find out how much money he gets in 4 weeks without the fee

395 times 4 = $1,580

Then multiply 1,580 by the .2 percent he owes the eployment agency

$316

(He gets $316 for working for 4 weeks minus the fee) Subtract the payment without the fee by the payment with the fee to find out how much the fee was.

Dylan owe the employment agency $316

First we need to calculate the amount that Dylan will earn for the first 4 weeks. This will be:

= Weekly earnings × Number of weeks

= $395 × 4

= $1580

Since Dylan pays 20% to the employment agency, then the amount owed will be:

= 20% × $1580

= 0.2 × $1580

= $316

In conclusion, Dylan owe the employment agency $316.

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
