The length would be 18 inches and the width would be 9 inches since the length is twice its width and to find perimeter you do length x 2 and width x 2 and add it together so 18x2 = 36 and 9x2 = 18. 36 + 18 = 54
Sue's total pay of year will have three parts
1) Fixed Salary for 12 months
one month salary = £1410
so 12 month salary = £1410 x 12 = £16920
2) 26% of total profit
Total cost to the company- £473,500
Total income for the company - £549,000
Profit = Total income for the company - Total cost to the company
= £549,000 - £473,500 = £75500
Sues income from profit = 26% of £75500 = (26 × 75500)/100 = £19630
3) Bonus if Sue sells at least 16 cars
Given number of months when sue solds atleast 16 cars = 4
So bonus income = 4 × 390 = £1560
Adding the three above parts
Sue's total pay for the year = £16920 + £19630 + £1560 = £38110
Check the picture below.
make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.
If you assign variables to the problem, it can make things a lot simpler. Lets say chairs are x and tables are y. Therefore you have:
2x+6y=40
5x+3y=25
Now you can isolate the variable of one equation and put it into another (it doesn't matter which. I'm going to manipulate the top equation to plug into the bottom one).
2x=40-6y
x=20-3y
Now I plug into bottom equatioin:
5(20-3y) + 3y=25
100-15y+3y=25
100-12y=25
-12y=-75
y=$6.25
Now you can plug in y in either equation to get x.
2x+6(6.25)=40
37.5+2x=40
2x=2.5
x=1.25
So it costs $6.25 for each table and $1.25 for each chair. If you think about it, it would make sense for the table to cost more for the chair.
