With that kind of arrogance you can pole vault to the moon using just a solidified version of your ego. Why waste time getting an atar like us mortals?

3! = 6 ways
ABC, BCA, CAB, ACB, BAC, CBA are the only ways

The question asked us to calculate the total pay a mechanic receives when he works 40 hours @ $22.35/hour, plus a special allowance of 150/week and double time for 'emergency hours'. However, it states that he only receives the double time when he works for a minimum of 4 hours. It states that he works for 5 hours on one emergency occasion and 1.5 on another thus the double time on 1.5 would not be counted,Thus, many people were getting the answer '1267.5' however it was not provided in the options. I would like to know how people found the real answer
I cant be sure, but I thought it said (something along the lines of): the machanic gets paid double time for 4 hours minimum on emergency calls REGARDLESS of whether he actually worked for 4 hours.

I remember my answer matching D, so that what I put.

For Q24ci) I used alternate angles to find that the angle B was 59 +75. So the bearing of C from B was 075degrees. For ii) i used to cosine rule to find AC and for iii) i believe i ended up with 75+180.
For angle B I got 59 + 55

Whoops! I thought it said that "the minimum he gets for a emergency is 4-hours double time", regardless of the length. I believe he did an emergency for 1.5hours (4-hours minimum) and 5 hours, so i did a total of 9hours at double time for emergencies. Then i added the $150 and the $894. I think i got D for that question then.
Answer was D 1440 something, the 1.5 was suppose to work out to 4 anyway as it was minimum 4 hours for a call out
