Can you please solve these problem for me. Thank You in advance.

1. About 1/5 of all people are left handed. Let x be the number of people in a particular group. Writhe and expression for the number of left handed people in the group.

2.You make 5 dollars per hour plus $7.50 as a one time start fee. Write an expression for how much you made after X hours.

3. The waitress at the local diner makes $32.00 per day and the cook makes $50.00 per day. In addition they divide the tips received in such a way that the waitress gets 70% and the cook gets 30%. Let X be the number of dollars in tips in a day. Write an expression for the total amount of money ( wages and tips) the waitress and cook make a day.
 
1. The simplest is x/5
2. 5x+7.50
3. waitress: 32.00 + .7X
cook: 50.00 + .3X
I don't see how to explain these answers. If you think about the problem it should be obvious. If you have questions you will have to explain what is confusing you.
