A recycling facility is staffed by 9 floor workers and one manager. All of the floor workers are paid equal wages, but the manager is paid n times as much as a floor worker. If the manager’s wages account for 1/9 of all wages paid at the facility, what is the value of n? Pick one
A) 8/7 B) 8 C) 9/8 D) 7 E) 5
Say each floor worker is paid $x, then the manager is paid $xn.   Total salary would be 9x+xn and we are told that it equals to 9xn:   9x+xn=9xn --&gt; reduce by x: 9+n=9n --&gt;8n=9   n = 9/8   Answer: 9/8
