Juan Ramirez sells suits in a major department store on weekends. He earns a commission of 5% on the first 10 suits he sells. If

he sells more than 10, he earns another 3% on the additional suits. Last weekend Juan sold 13 suits priced at $250 each. What was his commission?
A. $185.00
B. $260.00
C. $147.50
D. $210.40

C. $147.50
the first 10 suits would sell at 250 each totaling 2500 which means he earns 5% of $2500, which is 0.05 x 2500 = $125. The next 3 suits which also sold at 250 which totals $750, he makes 3% of that amount which is 0.03 x 750 = $22.50. Together is makes 125 + 22.50 = $147.50 in commission.

The rate of change is greater between x = 3 and x = 4 than between x = 2 and x =1 because an exponential function's rate of change is increasing, unlike a linear function which has a constant rate of change.

Law of sines: StartFraction sine (uppercase A) Over a EndFraction = StartFraction sine (uppercase B) Over b EndFraction = StartF

Vsevolod [243]

First of all, this problem is properly done with the Law of Cosines, which tells us

$a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2 b c \cos A$

giving us a quadratic equation for b we can solve. But let's do it with the Law of Sines as asked.

$\dfrac{\sin A}{a} = \dfrac{\sin B}{b} = \dfrac{\sin C}{c}$

We have c,a,A so the Law of Sines gives us sin C

$\sin C = \dfrac{c \sin A}{a} = \dfrac{5.4 \sin 20^\circ}{3.3} = 0.5597$

There are two possible triangle angles with this sine, supplementary angles, one acute, one obtuse:

$C_a = \arcsin(.5597) = 34.033^\circ$

$C_o = 180^\circ - C_a = 145.967^\circ$

Both of these make a valid triangle with A=20°. They give respective B's:

$B_a = 180^\circ - A - C_a = 125.967^\circ$

$B_o = 180^\circ - A - C_o = 14.033^\circ$

So we get two possibilities for b:

$b = \dfrac{a \sin B}{\sin A}$

$b_a = \dfrac{3.3 \sin 125.967^\circ}{\sin 20^\circ} = 7.8$

$b_o = \dfrac{3.3 \sin 14.033^\circ}{\sin 20^\circ} = 2.3$

Answer: 2.3 units and 7.8 units

Let's check it with the Law of Cosines:

$a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2 b c \cos A$

$0 = b^2 - (2 c \cos A)b + (c^2-a^2)$

There's a shortcut for the quadratic formula when the middle term is 'even.'

$b = c \cos A \pm \sqrt{c^2 \cos^2 A - (c^2-a^2)}$

$b = c \cos A \pm \sqrt{c^2( \cos^2 A - 1) + a^2}$

$b = 5.4 \cos 20 \pm \sqrt{5.4^2(\cos^2 20 -1) + 3.3^2}$

$b = 2.33958 \textrm{ or } 7.80910 \quad\checkmark$

Looks good.

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to be used,

Scale factor = $\frac{\text{Dimension of the image rectangle}}{\text{Dimension of the original}}$

By this formula,

$\frac{7}{2}=\frac{\text{Length of the dilated rectangle}}{\text{Length of the original rectangle}}$

$\frac{7}{2}=\frac{L}{22}$

L = $\frac{7\times 22}{2}$

= 77 inches

Similarly, width of the the dilated rectangle = $\frac{7}{2}\times 10$

= 35 inches

Perimeter of the new rectangle = 2(Length + width)

= 2(77 + 35)

= 224 inches

Option (D) will be the correct option.
