The straight commission offer must be at least as good as the straight commission offer, which requires sales of $12,000 in a week.

<h3>What is Straight Commission?</h3>

Straight Commission: Straight commission can also be referred to as commission-only because it is the only pay an employee receives. There is no base salary or hourly wage included in this pay structure. All compensation is based on an agreed-upon percentage of sales.

Get the complete straight commission offer as the first step.

The straight total commission can be expressed as follows:

A=R x T

A = straight total commission

R=commission rate

T=total sales

In our example,

A=0.06t=0.06 t is replaced by

R=6%=6/100=0.06

T=t in equation 1.

in the 2nd step, the second offer's total value

The total sum of the second offer can be expressed as follows:

A=F+(RT)

A=the amount of income the second company offers

F=weekly fixed wage

R = commission percentage

T = total sales

F in our instance equals $240 weekly.

in the 3rd step

R=4%=4/100=0.04

T=t is replacing A=240+(0.04t)=0.04 t+240 is in equation 2

now equate equations 1 and 2

0.06 t=0.04 t+240

(0.06 t-0.04 t)=240

0.02 t=240

t=240/0.02=12,000

The straight commission offer must be at least as good as the straight commission offer, which requires sales of $12,000 in a week.

in 1950, the population of a city was about 800,000 people. Over the next 50 year, the population increased to 1.3 million.Find
jasenka [17]

Answer:

62.5% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

First step : find the difference between two numbers, in this case, it's 1300000 - 800000 = 500000.

Second Step: Take the difference, 500000, and divide by the original number: 500000/800000  = 0.625.

Last, multiply the number above by 100: 0.625*100 = 62.5%. You're done! You calculated difference of a number in percent, and the answer is a percentage increase of 62.5%.

What is the solution to the rational equation x over 2x plus 1 minus 1 over 4 equals 2 over 2x plus 1
aalyn [17]
We want to solve
\frac{x}{2x+1} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{2x+1}

Subtract 2/(2x+1) from each side.
\frac{x}{2x+1} - \frac{2}{2x+1y} - \frac{1}{4} = 0

Add 1/4 to each side, and simplify the left side.
\frac{x-2}{2x+1} = \frac{1}{4}

Cross multiply.
4(x - 2) = 1(2x + 1)
4x - 8 = 2x + 1

Simplify and solve for x.
4x - 2x = 1 + 8
2x = 9
x = 9/2   or x = 4 1/2.

Answer:  x =  \frac{9}{2} \,\, or \,\, x = 4 \frac{1}{2}

Catalan drove 210 miles on her vacation. She drove an average of 1.4 times faster than the second 105 miles of her trip and she
jok3333 [9.3K]
Logan, the way you have phrased this question makes it a bit hard to follow.  I'm going to take the liberty of paraphasing it:

"Catalan drives an average of 1.4 times faster during the first 105 miles of her trip than she does during the second 105 miles."

As we are told, let X represent her speed during the first 105 miles of her trip.  She drives more slowly during the second 105 miles.  Thus, her speed during the 2nd 105 miles is X/1.4.

Remember:  distance = (rate)(time), or time = (distance)(rate)

We need to determine an expression for the time she spends driving.  Let T1 be the time required to drive 105 miles at speed X mph and T2 be the time required to drive 105 miles at speed (X/1.4) mph.

What is the total time required to drive these 210 miles?

Total time = (time required to drive 105 miles at X mph) + (time required to drive 105 miles at X/1.4 mph).

This gives you TIME SPENT DRIVING as a function of X, her speed during the first 105 miles of driving.

Hello,

To answer your problem, use the Pythagorean Theorem for 2 right triangles and the Area of a Rectangle to find the Area of the Parallelogram.

All together:

A = 2(area of right triangle) + (area of rectangle)

A = 2[1/2*b*h] + [b*h]

To find the area of the parallelogram, I would be here for a while. Haha
