0.10(5000) = 500
0.15(10,000) = 1500
total commission on 15,000 = (150 + 500) = 2,000
Alright, so we plug (-2) in for x. (-2)^2 =4, and we can plug that in as 4(4)+(-2)+5. Next, 4*4=16, so we get 15+(-2)+5. After that, we get 15-2+5=18
If 20 pencils are sharpened, and there was 36 to begin with, the answer would be 4:5
You are going to pay for a total of 22 months, so the answer will be 12*22. This equals $264, or the first option.
