Alrighty, what I was always taught was to start by writing out what you know from the question.
What I know:
-Tom is paid $0.23 for every page of proofs.
-He proofreads 1,992 pages.
In order to figure out how much money Tom has made, we need to multiply 0.23 by 1,992. Multiplying allows us to see the total amount of money made by proofreading x amount of pages - for every page he proofreads, he makes $0.23.
0.23×1992=458.16
Therefore, Tom made $458.16.
Hope this helps!
Graph A is correct. The ≥ sign is correct because the gray area is above the red. x^2 has a positive coefficient which corresponds to the opening-up parabola.
45 minutes equal to 2700 seconds.
His basic salary is $ 2,500, his commission on sales is 3% (on sales only)
At the end of te month he got $3,040
Let x be the TOTAL sales performed during this month, so the money generated from sales (only) is (x).(3%), Hence the equation:
2500 + (x).(3%) = 3040
2500 + x(0.03) = 3040
x(0.03) = 3040-2500
x(0.03) = 540
and x = 540/0.03
x = $18,000
