The commission is 20% of sales, the basic salary is $200 and the equation is y = 0.2x + 200

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let y represent the total sales for x weekly sales, m represent the commision and b represent the basic salary. Hence:

400 = 1000m + b  (1)

Also:

300 = 500m + b  (2)

Hence:

m = 0.2 = 20%, b = $200

The commission is 20% of sales, the basic salary is $200 and the equation is y = 0.2x + 200

Answer:

x = - 3

y = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the second equation. Switch

3y = 2x               Divide by 3

3y/3 = 2x/3

y = 2x/3

Now go to the first equation. Put the value for y in the first equation.

x - 3(2x/3) = 3      Cancel the 3s on the left.

x - 2x = 3              Combine

-x = 3                    Multiply by -1

-1(-x) = 3(-1)

x = - 3

Now go back to the original equation I have called the second equation

2x = 3y

2(-3) = 3y                  Put in - 3 for x

- 6 = 3y                     Divide by 3

-6 / 3 = y

y = - 2

Find the perimeter of the triangle with coordinates A(5,2), B(5,4), and C(1,1). Round to the nearest tenth.
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

11.1 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve for this using the formula when using coordinates (x1 , y1) and (x2, y2)

= √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

A(5,2), B(5,4), and C(1,1).

For AB = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

= A(5,2), B(5,4)

= √(5 - 5)² +(4 - 2)²

= √ 0² + 2²

= √4

= 2 units

For BC = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

= B(5,4), C(1,1)

= √(1 - 5)² +(1 - 4)²

= √ -4² + -3²

= √16 + 9

= √25

= 5 units

For AC = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

A(5,2), C(1,1)

= √(1 - 5)² + (1 - 2)²

= √-4² + -1²

= √16 + 1

= √17

= 4.1231056256 units

The Formula for the Perimeter of Triangle = Side AB + Side BC + Side AC

= 2 units + 5 units + 4.1231056256 units

= 11.1231056256 units.

Approximately the Perimeter of a Triangle to the nearest tenth = 11.1units

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

You can buy 6 tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

21.8 + 26.6 = 48.4

48.4 x 2.50 = 121

121 / 17.50 = 6.914

Since we can't round here because it's items you're buying, we round down to the nearest flat number, which in this case is 6.
