In order to determine the base salary of Theo, we can express the two earnings and sales amounts using simultaneous equation, that we would solve to arrive at the base salary

Bear in mind that total earnings are determined as base salary plus commission

Let X be the base salary

Let R be the rate of commission

commission =sales*rate of commission

When earnings were $3,835.25 and sales is $12,850, we have the below equation:

X+(12,850*R)=3,835.25

X+12850R=3,835.25 .................... equation (1)

When earnings were $3,641 and sales is $9,875, we have the below equation:

X+(9,875*R)=3641

X+9875R=3641 ......................... equation (2)

subtract equation 2 from 1

2975R=194.25

R=194.25/2975

R=commission rate=6.52941176470588%

substitute for R in equation 1 to arrive at X(base salary)

X+(12850*6.52941176470588%)=3,835.25

X=3,835.25-(12850*6.52941176470588%)

X=base salary=$2,996.22

Solve for W<br><br> 14/W=26/39

ozzi

Answer:

I think the answer is 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 21 because we can simple reduce 26/39 = 2/3. And now that you have done that all we need to do is find what 14/w = 2/3 this is quite simple as we just have to mutiply the 3*7 to get 21 as your answer. I don't know if this is correct or not but this is my best answer.
