Theo's base salary  using a simultaneous equation approach is $2,996.22 .

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

Find the angle in the table
yan [13]

Answer:

360/100=3.6

30  x 3.6 =  108

10 x 3.6 = 36

From the 10 you can multiply by 5. 36 x 5 = 180

10  3.6 = 36

36 + 36 = 72. 108 + 72 = 180

180 + 180 = 360.

Angles are Red-108, Blue-36, Green-180, and yellow-36.

Hope this helped

What number would you have to add to both sides to complete the square?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
X^2 + 12x = -6

x^2 + 12 x + 6^2 = -6 + 6^2

(x + 6)^2 = - 6 + 36

(x +6)^2 = 30

In the first step I had to add 6^2 = 36. The answer is option B. 36.
