Sum means to Add.
So the sum of d and 9 would be d + 9
Answer:
15 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Their rate together is 1/6 floor per minute.
Her rate alone is 1/10 floor per minute.
His rate is the difference of these:
1/6 - 1/10 = 5/30 -3/30 = 2/30 = 1/15 . . . . floor per minute
It would take Jacob 15 minutes to do it alone.
When two variables have a positive linear correlation, the dependent variable increases as the independent variable increases. So when the independent variable decreases, the dependent variable decreases as well. Both variables decrease and increase simultaneously.
In this question there are several important information's provided. Using these information's it is easy to get the answer to the question asked. Firstly it is already informed that the insurance agent gets a commission of 15% of the policy price for every policy sold. The agent sells a policy of $300.
Now we can write the equation as:
15% of $300 = [(15/100) * 300] dollars
= ( 15 * 3) dollars
= 45 dollars
So the agent gets a commission of $45 for selling a policy worth $300
