Define the two friends as person A and person B.

Let x =  the sales in a week.

Person A:
$125 per week plus 18% commission on sales.
Earnings in a week on x sales is
125 + 0.18x

Person B:
$85 per week plus 21% commission on sales.
Earnings in a week on x sales is
85 + 0.21x

For the two earnings to be equal,
85 + 0.21x = 125 + 0.18x
0.03x = 40
x = 40/0.03 = $1333.33

Answer: $1,333.33

Answer:

K

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at the equation.

h=-at^{2}+bt+c

This is a standard negative polynomial equation.

So changing the c value will basically move the graph up/down.

I is true because if it moved up or down, the h-intercept would change.

II is true because if it moved up or down, the maximum would change.

III is true because if it moved up or down, the t-intercept would be moved left or right.

30 + 6p = 7 (p+ 6 ) -5<br> Please answer
melamori03 [73]

Answer: p=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for p, you want to isolate the variable, get p alone. You would use different algebraic properties to do so.

30+6p=7p+42-5

30+6p=7p+37

-7=p

p=-7

Which expression has a negative value?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Negative 35 divided by 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

I got this answer by using process of elimination. So let's try it shall we?

2+12

This has to positive numbers in the process of addition so this would be a positive number with the answer of 14.

-3 x -8

This equation has two negatives being multiplied by each other hence cancelling each other out so the answer would be positive.

10 - (-18)

Much like the last equation there are to negatives, but this equation is subtracting by a negative so the negatives next to each other in that way would cancel each other out leaving you with a positive 28.

-35 / 5

Seeing as we have checked every other equation this one must be negative but lets check. When you divide a negative by a positive the positive would automatically take the form of the negative number, because it does not have a negative of its own to cancel the negative out so this must have a negative outcome.
