Answer:

X > 21000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Payment plans :

PLAN A:

salary = $1000 per month

Commision = 10% of sales

PLAN B:

salary = $1300 per month

Commision = 15% of sales in excess of $9,000

Hence, for plan B; 15% is paid after deducting $9000 from total sales

For what amount of monthly sales is plan B better than plan A if we can assume that Mike's sales are always more than $9,000.00?

That is ;

Plan B > plan A

Let total sales = x

Plan A:

$1,000 + 0.1x

Plan B:

$1,300 + 0.15(x - 9000)

1300 + 0.15(x - 9000) > 1000 + 0.1x

1300 + 0.15x - 1350 > 1000 + 0.1x

0.15x - 50 > 1000 + 0.1x

0.15x - 0.1x > 1000 + 50

0.05x > 1050

x > 1050/0.05

x > 21000

  All proportions have <u>this</u> <u>form</u>:

  \sf{\dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{c}{d}}, Where \sf{\dfrac{a}{b}} is equal to \sf{\dfrac{c}{d}}.

 If \sf{\dfrac{a}{b}\neq\dfrac{c}{d}}, it's <u>not</u> a proportion.

_________________________

  Here we have two pairs of numbers:

40,10 and 32,8.

Written As a <u>proportion</u>, they <em>look like</em> :

\sf{\dfrac{40}{10}=\dfrac{32}{8}}

Hope this made sense to you :)

According to the synthetic division below, which of the following statements are true?
statuscvo [17]

A, D and E are correct

given ( x - 4 ) is a factor then x =  4 is a root

the remainder on division by (x - 4 ) = 0 as indicated by the 0 on the right side of the quotient

(x - 4 ) is a factor of 3x² - 13x + 4 → A

the number 4is a root of f(x) = 3x² - 13x + 4 → D ( explained above )

thus 3x² - 13x + 4 ÷ (x - 4 ) = 3x - 1 → E

the quotient line 3 - 1 0

3 and - 1 are the coefficients of the linear quotient and 0 is the remainder
