Salesperson must generate a sales of $ 26280 in order to earn $2,816.90 per month in total compensation

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

A salesperson is paid a base salary of $1700 per month plus a 4.25% commission on sales

Therefore,

Total salary = 1700 + 4.25 % commission on sales

<em><u>How much sales must he generate in order to earn $2,816.90 per month in total compensation?</u></em>

Therefore, let us first subtract the basic salary

2816.90 - 1700 = 1116.9

We have to find the sales he must generate

Let "x" be the sales he must generate

4.25 % of x = 1116.9

Therefore,

4.25 \% \times x = 1116.9\\\\\frac{4.25}{100} \times x = 1116.9\\\\0.0425x = 1116.9\\\\x = \frac{1116.9}{0.0425}\\\\x = 26280

Thus he must generate a sales of $ 26280 in order to earn $2,816.90 per month in total compensation

The area of a rectangle is 8w + 18 square feet. The length of the rectangle is 2 feet. Use factoring to write an expression to r
qwelly [4]

Answer:

4w + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = length x width (or base x height, depending on how you look at it).

It is given to you that:

Area = 8w + 18

Length = 2

Let: width = x

Plug in the corresponding terms with the corresponding words:

8w + 18 = 2x

Isolate the variable, x. Divide 2 from both sides of the equation:

(8w + 18)/2 = (2x)/2

x = (8w + 18)/2

w = (8w)/2 + (18)/2

w = 4w + 9

4w + 9 is the expression that represents the width of the rectangle.

What is the standard deviation of the data set? Round to the nearest tenth if needed. 2, 4, 7, 8, 9
barxatty [35]

Hiiiiiiii, okay here's the full- explanation for you, so here's the final answer. The explanation of how i got the answer is also below! Hope this helped you!!

Answer:

2.9

Step-by-step explanation:

First the mean or average = sum / data points (or N) = (2 + 4 + 7 + 8 + 9) / 5 = 6  

Now we take each of the individual values subtract the mean, and then square them, and add it all up.  

(2 - 6)^2 + (4 - 6)^2 + (7 - 6)^2 + (8 - 6)^2 + (9 - 6)^2 = 34  

Then we divide this by degrees of freedom = N - 1 to find the sample standard deviation. Note that this is different from the population standard deviation, where we would just divide N, but we use this because our data set is small, like less than 30 points.  

34 / (N - 1) -----> = 34 / (5 - 1) = 8.5  

Now, this is the variance, so we take the square root of the variance to get the sample standard deviation:  

√(8.5) = 2.9 (rounded to 1 decimal place)  

Note that scientific calculators, even my $20 version can do these kind of statistics calculations. Just enter the data set as a table of values in statistics mode, and press a few buttons, you're done!
