You can write equations for total pay, but in the end, you want to find the amount of sales that makes the difference in commission make up for the difference in base pay.
... (commission rate difference) × sales = (base pay difference)
To find the sales, divide by its coefficient:
... sales = (base pay difference)/(commission rate difference)
8.Sales = (20,000 -17,000)/(.12 -0.05) = 3000/0.07 ≈ 42,857.14
You need to sell more than $42,857.14 for option A to pay more.
9.Sales = (25,000 -20,000)/(.09 -.03) = 5000/0.06 ≈ 83,333.33
You need to sell more than $83,333.33 for option A to pay more.
_____
In each case, total pay is ...
... total pay = (base pay) + (commission rate) × sales
For the two options to give the same total pay, the difference in total pay is zero. That occurs when ...
... 0 = (base pay₁) + (commission rate₁) × sales -((base pay₂) + (commission rate₂) × sales)
... 0 = (base pay₁) - (base pay₂) - sales × ((commission rate₁) -(commission rate₂))
Solving for sales, we get the above result:
... sales = ((base pay₂) -(base pay₁))/((commission rate₁) -(commission rate₂))
Solution 8:
We are given base salary of 17000 and 12% of sales.
Les us say salesperson does sales of x amount.
So 12% of x is 0.12x
Total salary = 17000+0.12x
In second case base salary is $20000 and commission of 5% of sales.
Total salay=20000+0.05x
Now for option A to pay more we have:
[tex]17000+0.12x>20000+0.05x[/tex]
Solving we get:
[tex]0.07x>3000[/tex]
x>42,857
Answer: Option A need to make sales of $42,857 more.
Solution 9:
We are given base salary of 20000 and 9% of sales.
Les us say salesperson does sales of x amount.
So 9% of x is 0.09x
Total salary = 20000+0.09x
In second case base salary is $25000 and commission of 3% of sales.
Total salay=25000+0.03x
Now for option A to pay more we have:
[tex]20000+0.09x>25000+0.03x[/tex]
Solving we get:
[tex]0.06x>5000[/tex]
x>83,333.33
Answer: Option A need to make sales of $83,333.33 more.
Q##..15 Graph the equation. y= 4x - 3
Answer: Please, see the attached file.
Thanks.
Solution:
We can graph using the intercepts:
(1) y-intercept, when x=0
y=4x-3→y=4(0)-3→y=0-3→y=-3
Point=(x,y)=(0,-3)
(2) x-intercept, when y=0
y=4x-3→0=4x-3
Solving for x: Adding 3 both sides of the equation:
0+3=4x-3+3
3=4x
Dividing both sides of the equation by 4:
3/4=4x/4
3/4=x
x=3/4=0.75
Point=(x,y)=(3/4,0)=(0.75,0)
With these pair of points (0, -3) and (0.75,0) we can draw the right line

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
to calculate m use the gradient formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 0 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 5 )
m = [tex]\frac{-5-0}{0-3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]
line crosses y-axis at (0, - 5 ) hence c = - 5
y = [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] x - 5 ← in slope-intercept form
the equation of a line in standard form is
Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )
rearrange slope-intercept form into standard form
multiply all terms by 3
3y = 5x - 15 ( subtract 3y and add 15 to both sides )
5x - 3y = 15 ← in standard form → D

Graph the function f(x)=x2.
Plot the vertex. Then plot another point on the parabola. If you make a mistake, you can erase your parabola by selecting the second point and placing it on top of the first.
Graph [tex]f(x) = x^2[/tex]
quadratic function is of the form [tex]f(x) = ax^2 + bx +c[/tex]
In our f(x) there is no x term and constant so we put 0
[tex]f(x) = 1x^2+0x+0[/tex]
The value of a=1 , b=0 and c=0
To find vertex , use formula [tex]x= \frac{-b}{2a}[/tex]
Plug in the values
[tex]x= \frac{-0}{2(1)}[/tex] =0
Now plug in x=0 in f(x) equation
[tex]f(x) = x^2[/tex]
[tex]f(0) = 0^2[/tex]=0
So vertex is (0,0)

What is 3.242424... as a mixed number
Answer:
3 8/33
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the mixed-number equivalent of the repeating decimal 3.2424....
Repeating decimalA repeating decimal fraction that starts at the decimal point can be converted to a ratio of integers by expressing the repeating digits over the same number of 9s.
Here, the two repeating digits "24" mean the fraction equivalent is ...
0.2424... = 24/99 = 8/33
The mixed number equivalent of 3.2424... is 3 8/33.
__
Additional comment
If the repeating portion does not start at the decimal point, you can use the following technique to do the conversion.
Multiply the original number by 10^n, where n is the number of repeating digits.Subtract the original number from this product. Repeating digits should cancel to zeros.Divide this difference by (10^n) -1 and simplify the resulting fraction.Effectively, this multiplies and divides the number by ((10^n) -1)/((10^n) -1). In the case here, that would be multiplication by 1 in the form 99/99.
3.242424... × 99/99 = 321/99 = 3 8/33
The "321" will be manifested on a calculator as 320.99999.... If you multiply by (100 -1) with pencil and paper, you can see that you get ...
324.2424... - 3.2424... = 321 . . . . . . repeating digits cancel
If the repeat starts somewhere else, you can still use the "fraction with equal number of 9s" technique, but with a multiplier:
3.6242424... = 3.6 + 0.0242424 ... = 3.6 + (1/10)(24/99)
= 36/10 + 8/330 = 3 103/165
<95141404393>
3.242424... as a mixed number is [tex]\(3 \frac{8}{33}\)[/tex].
To express the repeating decimal 3.242424... as a mixed number, we can first write it as an infinite geometric series.
Let x = 3.242424.... Then, multiplying x by 100 gives 100x = 324.242424...
Now, subtract x from 100x:
100x - x = 324.242424... - 3.242424...
99x = 321
Now, solve for x:
[tex]\[ x = \frac{321}{99} \][/tex]
Now, express the fraction [tex]\(\frac{321}{99}\)[/tex]as a mixed number.
[tex]\[ \frac{321}{99} = 3 \frac{24}{99} \]\\Now, simplify the fraction:\[ \frac{24}{99} = \frac{8}{33} \][/tex]
So, 3.242424... as a mixed number is [tex]\(3 \frac{8}{33}\)[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:
What equation results from completing the square and then factoring x^2+16x =41
A. (x+8)^2 =57
B.(x+16)^2 =57
C. (x+8)^2 =105
D. (x+16)^2 =105
C
given x² + 16x = 41
to complete the square on this equation
since the coefficient of the x² term is 1
add (half the coefficient of the x-term )² to both sides
x² + 2(8)x + 64 = 41+ 64
(x + 8 )² = 105 → C
Answer:
Option C is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation
[tex]x^2+16x=41[/tex]
we have to find the equation results from completing the square.
For completing the square method, since the coefficient of [tex]x^2[/tex] is 1 therefore we have to divide the coefficient of x by 2 and then squaring of that value adding on both sides of equation, we get
Here coefficient of x is 16 therefore square of half the number adding both sides
[tex]x^2+16x+64=41+64[/tex]
[tex]x^2+8x+8x+64=105[/tex]
[tex]x(x+8)+8(x+8)=105[/tex]
[tex](x+8)(x+8)=105[/tex]
[tex](x+8)^2=105[/tex]
Option C is correct

Look up premium table for age 40 and 45, the difference in total premium is C. $12,875.
To find the difference in total premium costs over 20 years for a whole life insurance policy at two age levels, calculate and subtract the total premium at each age.
Explanation:To find the difference in total premium costs over 20 years for the whole life insurance policy at the two age levels, we need to calculate the total premium at each age and then subtract the two values.
For Angelo at age 40, the value of the policy is $125,000. Let's assume the premium rate is x. So, the total premium at age 40 is 20 * x. For Angelo at age 45, the value of the policy is still $125,000. Let's assume the premium rate is y. So, the total premium at age 45 is 15 * y. To find the difference in total premium costs over 20 years, subtract the total premium at age 45 from the total premium at age 40: 20 * x - 15 * y.Therefore, the difference in total premium costs over 20 years for this policy at the two age levels is 20 * x - 15 * y.

Courtney would like to buy a new ca in 4 years. It is estimated that a new car will cost her 25,000 and that she will get 13,000 for her used car provided she takes good care of it. Based on these estimates, what is the least amount she should save each month in order to pay cash for her new car?
4 years=48 months
A new car costs 25,000, but she will get 13,000 for her used car as long as she takes good car of it. If she takes good care of her used car and gets 13,000 for it, she will only need to save 12,000 total. We can divide 12,000 by 48 to find out how much Courtney should save minimum each month to afford her new car. 12,000/48=250
You can check to see if this is correct by multiplying 48*250=12,000. Paying 250 for each month of the 48 months will equal the $12,000 that Courtney needs.
Courtney needs to save at least $250 per month to afford her new car in 4 years.
I hope this helps :)
Courtney should save at least $250 per month for the next 4 years to be able to pay cash for the new car after considering the amount she'll receive from selling her used car.
Courtney needs to save money to buy a new car in 4 years. The estimated cost of the new car is $25,000, and she expects to get $13,000 for her used car. To find out the least amount she should save each month, we will subtract the expected amount from the sale of her used car from the cost of the new car, and then divide by the number of months in 4 years (48 months).
The calculation is as follows:
Total amount needed = Cost of New Car - Sale of Used Car
= $25,000 - $13,000
= $12,000
Monthly savings required = Total amount needed \/ Number of months
= $12,000 \/ 48
= $250
Therefore, Courtney should save at least $250 per month to pay cash for her new car in 4 years.
