A sales person is given a choice of two salary plans. Plan 1 is a weekly salary of 700 plus 4% commission of sales. Plan 2 is a straight commission of 12%Of sales. How much in sales must he make in a week for both plans to result in the same salary?

Answers

Answer 1

Let 's' represent the amount of sales.

Plan 1:

[tex]\text{ \$700 + (4\% of s)}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ \$700+(}\frac{\text{4}}{100}\times s) \\ \text{ \$700+(0.04}\times s)=\text{ \$700}+0.04s \end{gathered}[/tex]

Plan 2:

[tex]12\text{ \% of s}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{12}{100}\times s \\ 0.12\times s=0.12s \end{gathered}[/tex]

Equating the two plans together and solving for the amount of sales,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Plan 2=Plan 1} \\ 0.12s=\text{ \$700+0.04s} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

Collecting like terms,

[tex]\begin{gathered} 0.12s-0.04s=\text{ \$700} \\ 0.08s=\text{\$700} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.08,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{0.08s}{0.08}=\frac{\text{ \$700}}{0.08} \\ s=\text{ \$8750} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the amount of sales is $8,750.

Answers

Answer: 38.3ft

We need to convert 459.89 inches into feet. Given that 12 inches is equal to 1 foot, we can solve this by dividing the length by 12

[tex]459.89in\times\frac{1ft}{12in}[/tex]

*Cancel the inches sign leaving us with ft

[tex]459.89\times\frac{1ft}{12}=\frac{459.89}{12}ft=38.32\approx38.3[/tex]

Therefore 459.89 inches is equal to 38.3 feet.

The proportion of passengers who miss a flight for which they have a reservation is0.0995. Suppose a flight 290 reservations. Find the standard deviation of the sampleproportion, ºf, rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth (4 decimal places).

Answers

Answer

Standard deviation of the sample proportion = 0.0176

Explanation

For a distribution with proportion, p, the standard deviation of the sample proportion is given as

[tex]\sigma_x=\sqrt[]{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

where

p = sample proportion = 0.0995

n = sample size = 290

[tex]\begin{gathered} \sigma_x=\sqrt[]{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} \\ \sigma_x=\sqrt[]{\frac{0.0995(1-0.0995)}{290}} \\ \sigma_x=\sqrt[]{\frac{0.0995(0.9005)}{290}} \\ \sigma_x=\sqrt[]{\frac{0.08959975}{290}} \\ \sigma_x=\sqrt[]{0.0003089647} \\ \sigma_x=0.0176 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answers

The estimate is 5 while the difference is 4.3

Here, we want to find the estimate the difference and also get the real difference between the two numbers

To get the estimate, we round up each of the numbers to the closest integer

When we talk of an integer, we mean the nearest whole number

Thus, 8.5 becomes 9

while 4.2 becomes 4

The estimated difference is thus 9-4 = 5

However, the actual difference is what we have when we actually make a direct subtraction

Thus, mathematically, we have this as 8.5 - 4.2 = 4.3

13/50 make as a decimal

Answers

To convert the fraction 13/50 to decimal, we have to divide 13 by 50.

We can also calculate it as:

[tex]\frac{13}{50}=\frac{13}{50}\cdot\frac{2}{2}=\frac{26}{100}=0.26[/tex]

In this case, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2. Then, we obtain a denominator of 100, which means that the numerator is in hundredths. Then, we can write is as 0.26.

Answer: the decimal expression of 13/50 is 0.26.

Answers

The value of time (t) is equal to 8 seconds.

The value of the initial velocity (u) is equal to 8 meters per seconds.

The value of the distance (s) is equal to 32 meters.

How to find the missing terms?

Mathematically, the first and third equation of motion are given by this mathematical expressions:

v = u + at

v² = u² + 2as

Where:  

V represents the final velocity.U represents the initial velocity.S represents the distance travelled or covered.t represents the time measured in seconds.

For the first part (a), we would find time (t) by using the first equation of motion as follows;

v = u + at

30 = 6 + 3t

3t = 30 - 6

3t = 24

Time, t = 24/3

Time, t = 8 seconds.

For the second part (b), we would find the initial velocity (u) by using the first equation of motion as follows;

v = u + at

10.5 = u + 0.5(5)

10.5 = u + 2.5

Initial velocity (u) = 10.5 - 2.5

Initial velocity (u) = 8 m/s.

For the third part (b), we would find the distance (s) by using the third equation of motion as follows;

v² = u² + 2as

6² = 2² + 2(0.5)s

36 = 4 + s

Distance, s = 36 - 4

Distance, s = 32 meters.

Answers

1) Gathering the data

Sweater $65

Discounted 20%

2) We can find this final price using this formula/calculation

Since the price has been discounted by 20% we can multiply $65 x 0.8 to find the discounted price, but the sweater will be sold with a tax of 8% so we can multiply by (1 + 0. 08) to get the final price, i.e. $56.16

The given equation is

note the left side has TWO of the terms required for the square of a binomial. we only need the final number. but what number should we add?

the first term is the square of a, in this case, it's x

the second term has 10x and it should be 2ab, if we already know a=x, then

2ab=10x, then

Answers

The stock market opens on Monday morning, a stock was valued at 42.50.

The intial value of stock = 42.50

The value of that stock increase by the same amount each day for the next three days.

Let the increase amount in each day is x

then, increase amount in three day = 3x

After three days, the value of stock was 50.00.

Net amount after three day = 50.00

Net amount after three day = Initial value of stock + Incease amount in three day

50 = 42.50 + 3x

3x + 42.50 = 50

Answer: 3x + 42.50 = 50

The value of tan(alpha+beta) given sin(alpha)=40/41 and sin(beta)=15/17 and cos(∝ + β)= -528/697 and sin(∝ + β)= 455/679

Answers

Answer

Tan (∝ + β) = -455/528

Explanation

Tan (∝ + β) = ?

Given:

Sin ∝ = 40/41

Sin β = 15/17

Cos (∝ + β) = -528/697

Sin (∝ + β) = 455/697

Note: Tan ∝ = Sin ∝/Cos ∝

⇒ Tan (∝ + β) = (Sin ∝ + β)/(Cos ∝ + β)

Recall Sin (∝ + β) = 455/697 and Cos (∝ + β) = -528/697

∴ Tan (∝ + β) = (455/697)/(-528/697)

Tan (∝ + β) = 455 /697 x (-697/528)

Tan (∝ + β) = -455/528

Here, we want to select the options that would prove that the triangles are congruent

We can get that from the markings on the diagram

As we can see from the question, we already have two sides being equal as we can see from the markings

Hence, we need an extra information to see through that the two triangles are indeed congruent

If the sides BA and FD are equal, it will simply mean that the three sides of the triangle are equal. In that case, the two triangles are congruent by SSS (side-side-side)

Also, if the angles C and E are congruent, we will have that the two triangles are similar by the SAS (side-angle-side)

So, the correct options are C and D
