Percent means per 100 so 40% 40 per 100, or simply 40<span>/100</span>

When we divide 40 by 100 we get 0.4 which is a decimal number.

to convert from percent to decimal you have to divide by 100, and then remove the % sign.

To convert a percent to a decimal, you move the the decimal left two places to convert the percent to a decimal. For example, if you were to convert 14% to a decimal, you move the decimal left two places so that 14% converted to a decimal would look something like this: 0.14

Kelly price sells college textbooks on commission. She gets 8 % on the first $7500 of sales, 16% on the next $7500 of sales, a

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The commission would be $ 920.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Sales in 1997 = $ 9500,

Since, there is a commision of 8 % on the first $ 7500 of sales, 16% on the next $ 7500 of sales, and 20% on sales over $ 15,000,

If x represents the total sales,

Commission for x ≤ 7500 = 8% of x = 0.08x,

Commission for 7500 < x ≤ 15000 = 8% of 7500 + 16% of (x-7500)

= 600 + 0.16(x-7500),

Commission for 7500 < x ≤ 15000 = 8% of 7500 + 16% of 7500 + 20% of (x-15000)

= 600 + 1200 + 0.20(x-15000)

= 1800 + 0.20(x-15000)

Thus, the function that shows the given situation,

$f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix}0.08x & x \leq 7500\\ 600+0.16(x-7500) & 7500 < x \leq 15000\\ 1800+0.20(x-15000) & 15000 < x\end{matrix}\right.$

Since, 9500 lies between 7500 and 15000,

Therefore, the commission would be,

f(9500)= 600 + 0.16(9500 - 7500) = 600 + 320 = $ 920

What is the slope of line segment AB?<br> A) 2/3<br> B) 3/4<br> C) 4/3<br> D) -3/4

Lunna [17]

For this case we have that by definition, the slope of a line is given by:

$m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}}$

Where:

$(x_ {1}, y_ {1})$ and $(x_ {2}, y_ {2})$ are two points through which the line passes.

According to the image we have:

$(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (-5,3)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (3, -3)$

Substituting we have:

$m = \frac {-3-3} {3 - (- 5)} = \frac {-6} {3 + 5} = \frac {-6} {8} = - \frac {3} {4}$

Thus, the slope of the line is:

$m = - \frac {3} {4}$

Answer:

$m = - \frac {3} {4}$

Which expression represents the volume of the prism?

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

x³-2x² = x2(x – 2) cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a prism is found by multiplying the base area by the height. The base area is a parallelogram and so the area is x*(x-2) = x² -2x.

Multiply this area by the height x.

V = x(x² - 2x) = x³-2x²

This is the same as x2(x – 2) cubic units.
