You are offered two different sales jobs. The first company offers a straight commission of 8% of the sales. The second company offers a salary of $ 500 per week plus 3% of the sales. How much would you have to sell in a week in order for the straight commission offer to be at least as good

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

You would have to sell 10,000 in a week for the straight commission offer to be at least as good.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information provided, you can find how much you would have to sell in a week in order for the straight commission offer to be at least as good by establishing an equation in which the amount earned in the first company is equal to the amount earned in the second company:

0.08x=500+0.03x, where x is the amount of sales

Now, you can solve for x:

0.08x-0.03x=500

0.05x=500

x=500/0.05

x=10,000

According to this, the answer is that you would have to sell 10,000 in a week for the straight commission offer to be at least as good.

Tell whether the ratios form a proportion. 30/75, 24/60

Answers

Given:

The ratios are  [tex]\dfrac{30}{75}[/tex] and [tex]\dfrac{24}{60}[/tex].

To find:

Whether the ratios form a proportion or not.

Solution:

If two ratios represent the same relationship then they form a proportion.

We have,

[tex]\dfrac{30}{75}[/tex] and [tex]\dfrac{24}{60}[/tex]

Write the given ratios in the simplified forms.

[tex]\dfrac{30}{75}=\dfrac{15\times 2}{15\times 5}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{30}{75}=\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]

And,

[tex]\dfrac{24}{60}=\dfrac{12\times 2}{12\times 5}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{24}{60}=\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]

Since [tex]\dfrac{30}{75}=\dfrac{24}{60}=\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex], therefore the ratios form a proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

well to find the mean we add all of the numbers up and then divide it by the amount of numbers in the sequence

so if we add all of the numbers up it will give us

451

then if we divide that by the number of numbers in the sequence which is 7 then that will leave us with

Find the area of this composite figure.

Answers

Answer: 171 cm

Step-by-step explanation: im not sure if this is right but

9x12=108

9x7=63

108+63=171

Area of triangle = ½bh
Area of rectangle = bh

Total area = Area of triangle + Area of rectangle

Area of rectangle = (12 cm)(9 cm)
Area of rectangle = 108 cm²

Area of triangle = ½(9 cm)(7 cm)
Area of triangle = ½(9 cm)(7 cm)
Area of triangle = 31.5 cm²

Total area = 31.5 cm² + 108 cm²
Total area = 139.5 cm²

Answer: 139.5 cm²



A recipe for cookies calls for 2/3 of a cup of sugar. Elena used 5 1/3 cups of sugar to make multiple batches of cookies. How many batches did she make?

Answers

Answer:

8 batches

Step-by-step explanation:

A recipe for cookies calls for 2/3 of a cup of sugar. Elena used 5 1/3 cups of sugar to make multiple batches of cookies. How many batches did she make?

From the above question, 1 recipe = 1 batch of cookies

Hence:

2/3 cup of sugar = 1 batch of cookies

5 1/3 cups of sugar = x batches of cookies

Cross Multiply

2/3 cup × x batches = 5 1/3 cup × 1 batch

x batches = 5 1/3 cup × 1 batch/2/3 cup

x batches = 16/3 ÷ 2/3

x batches = 16/3 × 3/2

= 8 batches

Therefore she made 8 batches

18 rice cakes weigh a total of 130 g. There are 329 calories in 100 g of rice cakes. How many calories are there in one rice cake?

Answers

Answer:

1 rice cake has 23.761 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

18 rice cakes weigh a total of 130 g.

There are 329 calories in 100 g of rice cakes.

Step 1

We calculate the number of calories is 18 rice cakes

18 rice cakes = 130g

Hence,

100g = 329 calories

130g = x

Cross Multiply

100g × x = 130g × 329 calories

x = 130g × 329 calories/100g

x = 427.7 calories

Therefore, 18 rice cakes had 427.7 calories

Step 2

How many calories are there in one rice cake?

18 rice cakes = 427.7 calories

1 rice cake = x

Cross Multiply

18 × x = 1 × 427.7

x = 427.7/18

x = 23.761111111 calories

Approximately = 23.761 calories

Therefore, 1 rice cake has 23.761 calories

Answer:

  1. 2x +2y = 310; x -y = 55

  2. y = 50, x = 105

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be represented by x and y. Double the numbers would give 2x and 2y. We're told the sum of the doubled numbers is 310, so one equation is ...

  2x + 2y = 310

The difference of the numbers is (x-y). We're told that difference is 55, so the other equation is ...

  x - y = 55

__

We can divide the first equation by 2, and subtract the second.

  1/2(2x +2y) -(x -y) = 1/2(310) -(55)

  2y = 100 . . . . . . . simplify

  y = 50 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  x -50 = 55   ⇒   x = 105 . . . . use the second equation to find x

The two numbers are 105 and 55.
