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 perpendicular bisector of the line segment connecting the points (-3,8) and (-5,4) has an equation of the form y = mx + b. F
omeli [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

find the slope

\frac{4-8}{-5-(-3)} =\frac{-4}{-2} \\\\slope=2\\y=mx+b\\y=2x+b\\

take a coordinate to fill in

(-5,4)\\y=-5\\x=4\\-5=2(4)+b\\-5=8+b-8   -8\\-13=b\\

this means that the equation is y=2x-13

and if you add m and b

you get :-11
