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

What is the value of the x variable in the solution to the following system of equations?
defon

ANSWER

The correct answer is C x=3.



<u>EXPLANATION</u>


We have

4x+2y=12---(1)


and


x-y=3---(2).


We solve the two equation simultaneously by elimination method. We need to be smart and eliminate y, since we are looking for x.



We first multiply equation (2) by 2

2x-2y=6---(3).


We add equation (3) and (1).


\Rightarrow 6x=18.

Dividing through by 6 gives

x=3.

Find the values of x y and z
andrey2020 [161]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • x = 18√2
  • y = 18√3
  • z = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

These "special" right triangles have side length ratios that it is useful to remember.

<u>45°-45°-90° triangle</u>

Sides have the ratios 1 : 1 : √2. That is, x is √2 times as long as the side length shown as 18.

  x = 18√2

<u>30°-60°-90° triangle</u>

Shortest to longest, sides have the ratios ...

  1 : √3 : 2

That is, y is √3 times the length of the side marked 18, and z is 2 times the length of the side marked 18.

  y = 18√3

  z = 2·18 = 36
