Answer:

B. 35%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Chet is a salesman whose base pay plus commissions amounted to $48,560 last year. His base pay was $22,380 and he made $74,800 in sales last year.

First of all, we will find amount of commission by subtracting base pay from total salary.

\text{Amount of commission}=\$48,560-\$22,380

\text{Amount of commission}=\$26,180

Since Chet sold $74,800 worth items, so we need to find $26,180 is what percent of $74,800.

\text{Rate of commission}=\frac{\$26,180}{\$74,800}\times 100

\text{Rate of commission}=0.35\times 100

\text{Rate of commission}=35\%

Therefore, option B is the correct choice.

f(x) 3x+1

g(x) 1x

f(1x) = 3(1x)+1

Something on sale for $725. The original price was $1299. To the nearest tenth of a percent, what was the rate of discount?
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

44.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of discount = (difference in prices / original price) x 100

Difference in price = $1299 - $725 = $574

Original price = $1299

($574 / $1299) x 100 = 44.187837%

the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero

the hundredth figure is 8, which is greater than 5. 1 would be added to the tenth figure.

So it becomes 44.2%

Which equation can be used to solve the following word problem? Seth has 8 more nickels than dimes, and the total value of his c
9966 [12]

Answer:

Seth has 21 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number of nickels. Since Seth has 8 more nickels than dimes, then (n-8) is the number dimes.

Nickel is worth 5 cents and dime is worth 10 cents.  Thus, n nickels are worth 5n cents and (n-8) dimes are worth 10(n-8) cents. The total value of Seth's coins is $2.35 that is 235 cents, then

5n+10(n-8)=235.

Solve this equation:

5n+10n-80=235,\\ \\15n=235+80,\\ \\15n=315,\\ \\n=21.
