What are the different ways to divide?
You can use many different strategies to find the answer to a division problem. One strategy is to use repeated subtraction. To find 123 ÷ 36, think: How many groups of 36 are there in 123? Start with 123. Subtract 36 repeatedly. Count how many times you subtracted: 123 − 36 = 87 (1); 87 − 36 = 51 (2); 51 − 36 = 15 (3); 15 < 36. There are 3 groups of 36 in 123 with 15 left over. Therefore, 123 ÷ 36 = 3 R15.
Another strategy is to use what is sometimes called long division. The algorithm for long division is estimate, multiply, subtract, bring down, and repeat as needed. To find 123 ÷ 36, start with the estimate 120 ÷ 40 = 3. Then use this estimate to help you place the first digit in the quotient of the division algorithm.

Answer:

(0, 50) (25, 57.5) (50, 122.5) (75, 195) (100, 275)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that he earns 30% percent of the money made on sales, plus $50 a week. We know that he starts off with 50, because that's how much he made by working that week. To figure out how much money he made off of each one, we have to calculate 30% of the sale, and add that to the total amount of money he has made up to that point. I hope this helps :)
