You pay your lawyer 20%, and need 100,000 to repair your house so how much should you sue for?
-
150000
-
120000
-
100000

To calculate this, you need to divide the repair cost by (1 - lawyer's fee percentage). In this case, the lawyer's fee is 20%, so you divide $100,000 by (1 - 0.20), which is equal to $125,000. Therefore, you should sue for $125,000.Rate this question:

If I pay you $10.00 to paint a 2' x 2' wall, how much should I pay you to paint a 4' x 4' wall?
-
20
-
80
-
40
-
15
Correct Answer
A. 40Explanation
The cost of painting a wall is typically determined by the area to be painted. If you double the dimensions of the wall, you quadruple the area to be painted. The area of a 2' x 2' wall is 4 square feet (2 x 2 = 4), and the area of a 4' x 4' wall is 16 square feet (4 x 4 = 16).
So, if you initially paid $10.00 to paint a 2' x 2' wall, you would adjust the payment based on the increase in area for the 4' x 4' wall. Since the area is four times larger, you might consider charging $10.00 x 4 = $40.00 to paint the 4' x 4' wall.Rate this question:
