During one week, David worked 16 hours at his normal hourly rate and 7 hours at his time and a half rate. His total pay for the week was
$848.
What is David’s normal hourly rate?

43.49

Step-by-step explanation:

let his normal hourly rate be x

16x+7x/2=848

39x/2=848

x=848 ÷ 39/2

=43.48717

he used the algebra tiles correctly.

step-by-step explanation:

given : 3x(2x-1)

solution :

since he used algebra tiles .

armando's solution is the same in the solution shown in figure

as he distributed 2x into x and x and wrote them vertically

and also write   -1 vertically

and 3x into x and x and x and wrote it horizontally

performing the multiplication in the algebra tiles we get

and solving the given expression :

3x(2x-1)

since solving the expression using tiles   and solving the expression algebraically we get the same answer

thus   we can choose the first statement as the answer to this problem which is "he used the algebra tiles correctly".
