Answer:

<em>$32,000</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = amount of sales

8% of sales is 8% of x, or 8% * x = 0.08x.

We are told that 0.08x is $2560.

We write that as an equation and solve it for x.

The equation is:

0.08x = 2560

To solve, we see that x is being multiplied by 0.08, and we want x alone, so we divide both sides by 0.08.

0.08x/0.08 = 2560/0.08

x = 32,000

Answer: $32,000

6x + 3y = -6 2x + y = -2 A. x = 0, y = -2 B. infinite solutions C. x = -1, y = 0 D. no solution
guapka [62]

ANSWER

B. infinite solutions

EXPLANATION

We want to solve the equation;

6x + 3y =  - 6...(1)

and

2x + y =  - 2...(2)

We multiply the second equation by 3 to get:

6x + 3y =  - 6...(3)

We now subtract equation (1) and (3).

6x - 6x + 3y - 3y =  - 6 -  - 6

This implies that

0 = 0

Hence the equation has infinitely many solutions.

Find the missing side round to the nearest 10th please help
katrin [286]

Step-by-step explanation:

Number 3

cos∅ = adj/hyp

cos35° = 20/x

x = 20/cos35°

x = 20/0.8192

x = 24.4155

x ≈ 24.4 to the nearest tenth

Option C

Number 6

tan∅ = opp/adj

tan37° = 20/x

x = 20/tan37°

x = 20/0.7536

x = 26.5409

x ≈ 26.5 to the nearest tenth

Option B
