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

When will the equation p(b)=520(0.88)^b have a value less than 100?
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The given equation will have value less than 100 whenever the value of b is greater than 12.89

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given equation, p(b) = 520 × 0.88^{b} to have a value less than 100 we can establish inequality as:

                     p(b) < 100

         or,  520 × 0.88^{b} < 100

         or, \frac{520}{520} × 0.88^{b} < \frac{100}{520}

         or, 0.88^{b} < \frac{1}{5.2}

         or, ㏒ ( 0.88^{b} ) < ㏒  (\frac{1}{5.2})

         or, b× ㏒ 0.88 < ㏒  (\frac{1}{5.2})

         or,  \frac{log (\frac{1}{5.2}) }{log (0.88)}   <  b

         or, 12.89 < b

Hence for the equation to have value less than 100, b must be greater than 12.89.

Show the following numbers on number line 3/2, 5/2, -3/2
pav-90 [236]

When you create the number line, put 0 in the middle. Basically you put all the numbers you got from least to greatest on the number.

Since -3/2 is less than 0, it will go to the left of 0.

Since 3/2 and 5/2 are greater than 0, it will go to the right of 0.

Remember to use sub points of 1.

Best of Luck!

Answer: Yes, because the amount of money you save for every beverage bought is constant, and if you buy 0 beverages, you’ll save $0. That means it the situation is graphed, the line produced will be linear and crosses through the origin, which are the requirements for a proportional relationship.
