First we must construct an equation to model the problem. (In this case we will use an inequality instead) This is what I came up with:
         450.20+0.15s>=600.10

This equation shows how if her base earnings ($450.20) are added to 15% of her sales, represented by s, then the total will be greater than or equal to $600.10
Next, we simply solve for s. (steps shown below)

1) 450.20+0.15s>=600.10 (simply restating the inequality)
2) 0.15s>=149.90 (here I isolated the variable)
3)0.15s/0.15>=149.90/0.15 (Finally I solve for s by dividing both sides by 0.15, this will isolate s on the left and leave the answer on the right)
4) s>=999.33... (here I found the total sales the salesperson would need to reach his/her goal of earning a minimum of $600.10; the 3's after the decimal are repeating so in the next step I will round up to the nearest hundredth (b/c this is what money is rounded to and if I round down he/she would make less than her goal. This means i must round up.))
5) s>=999.34 (simple rounding; once again I rounded up b/c rounding down would slightly bring the total earnings to less than the goal)

<u>Therefore, the salesperson would need his/her sales to be $999.34 in order for his/her total earnings for the week to be at least $600.10</u> (greater than or equal to $600.10)

<u>Hope this helped!</u>

Given information
----------------------------------------------------------
Area = 3x² + 14x + 8 
Length = x + 4

----------------------------------------------------------
Formula
----------------------------------------------------------
Area = Length x Width

----------------------------------------------------------
Find Width
----------------------------------------------------------
3x² + 14x + 8  = (x + 4) x width
width = (3x² + 14x + 8) ÷ (x + 4)
width =  (x+4)(3x+2) ÷ (x + 4)
width = 3x + 2

----------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The width is 3x + 2 (Answer C)

It will take him 18 minutes b/c it takes him about 1.5 minutes to run  1 mile, therefore 1.5 times 12 is 18 minutes.

Halen ate 1 7/8 doughnuts for breakfast if Lucy ate 2 times as many as Helen how many doughnuts did Lucy eat
loris [4]

Answer:

1.75

Step-by-step explanation

Perhaps, 1 7/8 is a bit of an Improper fraction, therefore Multiply the side number of this Improper fraction (1x7) Witch will give you 7/8 times that against 2 and you will get 1.75. (Forget the last period by the number.)
