Glass plates are packaged and shipped to a retail store, but 13 percent of all the shipped plates arrive broken. In the last shipment, 117 arrive broken. Which equation can be used to find the total number of plates shipped? StartFraction 13 times 100 Over 117 times 100 EndFraction = StartFraction 1300 Over 11,700 EndFraction StartFraction 117 divided by 1 Over 13 divided by 1 EndFraction = StartFraction 117 Over 13 EndFraction StartFraction 13 times 9 Over 100 times 9 EndFraction = StartFraction 117 Over 900 EndFraction StartFraction 100 divided by 13 Over 117 divided by 13 EndFraction = StartFraction 7.7 Over 9 EndFraction

solution:

the auto-correct option of the auto-correct tool enables you to add and delete words that do not follow abbreviation rules because:

it is a feature that allows outlook to correct common spelling and typing errors and to replace characters with symbols. we can also can use auto-correct as a shortcut, which means we can type a small string of characters and have those characters replaced by a longer string.

the benefits of raising bc’s minimum wage to $15 through a

series of pre-announced staged increases far outweigh the likely

costs. claims that such an increase will lead to massive job losses

in low-wage sectors of the economy are not credible.

• an increase to $15 would result in some job losses. however,

the likely impact is less than a 1 per cent reduction in the overall

provincial employment rate, and a 7.6 per cent reduction in the

employment rate for those currently making between $10.25

and $15 per hour.

• the large job loss impacts predicted by some opponents of

minimum wages misrepresent the existing economic research. in

reading and using that research, it is important to recognize that

estimates showing job loss effects of minimum wage increases

apply only to teenagers. estimated effects for young adult and

adult workers range from insignificant to non-existent.

• focusing on teenage workers plays up an inaccurate stereotype

about who earns very low wages in bc and leads to exaggerated

claims about job losses. only 26 per cent of those currently making

between $10.25 and $12 are teenagers, and only 5 per cent

of those making between $12 and $15 are teenagers.
