We need to separate his total earnings out into the different categories:
Category 1 (2%): 30,000
Category 2 (3%): 60,000-30,000 = 30,000
Category 3 (5%): 92,000-60,000 = 32,000
To calculate a percentage we multiply by that percentage divided by 100.
Now we can work out the commissions:
1) 30,000*0.02 = $600
2) 30,000*0.03 = $900
3) 32,000*0.05 = $1600
Adding these together, we get $3100
1) Let x be the original speed that he was driving;
x mph ---> 1.5 hours
x+44 mph --> 2.5 hours
1.5x + 2.5(x+44)=206
1.5x+2.5x+110=206
4x=206-110
4x=96
x=24
Therefore, he was travelling at 24 mph in the fog.
2) Let x be the speed of 1 snail,
The other snail travels at the speed of x+1 cm/min
23x+23(x+1)=391 <-- solve for x
23x+23x+23=391
46x=368
x=368/46
x=8
Therefore one of the snail travels at 8 cm/min while the other goes at 9 cm/min
7) Let x be one crew
Then the other crew would be working at x+0.5
3.2x+3.2(x0.5)=8 <-- solve for x
3.2x+1.6x=8
4.8x=8
x=8/4.8
x=1.6666 or 1.7 miles
Therefore, one of the crew does 1.7 miles per day and the other crew does (0.5*1.7)=0.85 miles
Hope I helped :)
It’s $13.75=3x-$2.50 -> $11.25=3x -> $3.75=x
X=g
Put the individuals in the brackets
I don’t understand what you mean son, speak up
