The salesperson earns a commission of $391

The total amount of merchandise that he sold is $2300

The commission rate is given by

r=\frac{\text{commission amount}}{\text{ sold amount}}r=\frac{\$391}{\$2300}=0.17

To convert the rate into percentage, multiply with 100%

r=0.17\cdot100=17\%

Therefore, the commission rate is 17%.

Select all the points that are on the line through (0 5) and (2 8) A.(5 11) B.(5 10) C.(6 14) D.(30 50) E.(40 60)
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Options C. and D. are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x_1,y_1)=(0,5),\,(x_2,y_2)=(2,8)

Equation of a line is given by y-y_1=(\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1})(x-x_1)

y-5=(\frac{8-5}{2-0})(x-0)\\\\y-5=\frac{3}{2}x\\\\2y-10=3x\\3x-2y+10=0

Put  (x,y)=(5,11)

3(5)-2(11)+10=15-22+10=3\neq 0

Put  (x,y)=(5,10)

3(5)-2(10)+10=15-20+10=5\neq 0

Put (x,y)=(6,14)

3(6)-2(14)+10=18-28+10=0

Put (x,y)=(30,50)

3(30)-2(50)+10=90-100+10=0

Put (x,y)=(40,60)

3(40)-2(60)+10=0\\120-120+10=10\neq 0

So, points (6,14),\,(30,50) satisfy the equation 3x-2y+10=0

Therefore,

points (6,14),\,(30,50) lie on the line through (0,5) and (2,8)

Options C. and D. are correct.

Answer:

  47.25 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the prism is given by the formula ...

  V = Bh . . . . . . . B is the area of the base, h is the height.

The height of the prism is given as 6 ft. The area of the base is the area of the triangular entrance. The formula for that area is ...

  A = 1/2bh . . . . . . b is the base, h is the height

Using the given values for the entrance base and height, we get ...

  A = 1/2(4.5 ft)(3.5 ft) = 7.875 ft²

Then the volume of the tent is ...

  V = (7.875 ft²)(6 ft) = 47.25 ft³

The tent volume is 47.25 cubic feet.

How much money would a person have 8 years after they invested $2,000 into an account that has an annual interest rate of 3% tha
madam [21]

The amount of money the person would have in 8 years s $2541.74.

<h3>How much would the person have in 8 years? </h3>

The formula for calculating future value is:

FV = P (1 + r)^nm]

Where:

FV = Future value
  • P = Present value = $2000
  • R = interest rate = 3% / 12 = 0.25%
  • m = number of compounding = 12
  • N = number of years = 8 years

Value of the account in 8 years with monthly compounding = $2000(1.0025)^(12 x 8) = $2541.74

ASAP!! Three consecutive numbers have a sum of 156. What are the 3 numbers?
ryzh [129]

For this problem, all you need to do is find the three #'s that add up to 156.

So, lets look at the answers and add them up.

A. 50, 52, 54

50 + 52 + 54 = 156

B. 51,52,53

51 + 52 + 53 = 156

C. 49,50,51

49 + 50 + 51 = 150

D. 49,51,53

49 + 51 + 53 = 153

We get the answers (50,52,54) and (51,52,53)

Now, consecutive numbers are numbers that in order, like 1,2,3.

Therefore, the answer is (51,52,53)
