an art dealer makes a 17.5% commission on every painting sold. If a painting sold for $1500, what was the commission

1 answer:

4 0

A percentage is a number out of 100. So, 17.5% is really 17.5/100, or 0.175.

To find 17.5% of 1500, you multiply 1500 by 0.175

1500 x 0.175 = 262.5.

The commission is $262.50.

How do i check an equation for extraneous solutions?

Marina86 [1]

Example:

$\sqrt x(x+1)=0$

This suggests two solutions, $x=0$ and $x=-1$ .

However, upon plugging these solutions back into the equation, you get

$\sqrt0(0+1)=0(1)=0$

which checks out, but

$\sqrt{-1}(1-1)=0$

does not because $\sqrt x$ is defined only for $x\ge0$ (assuming you're looking for real solutions only). So, we call $x=-1$ an extraneous solution, and the complete solution set (over the real numbers) is $x=0$ .

Hailey's mixing two different coffee blends. Represent them by x and y (in pounds). Then x + y = 5 lb, and x = 5 - y.How much puree Sum. beans are we talking about here?
0.20x +0.80y = 0.60(5 lb) Mult all 3 terms by 100 to get rid of factions:
20x + 80 y = 300. Substitute 5-y for x:
20(5-y) + 80y = 300 => 100-20y + 80y = 300 => 60y = 200, so y = 20/6 or 10/3 lb den x = 5-10/3, or x =5/3 lb
Use 5/3 lb of the first blend and 10/3 lb of the second blend to come up with 5 lb of a 60% blend.
